Language and speech proficiency is considered to be an important factor to identify human beings. Though traditional studies on language and speech can reveal many aspects of their characteristics, we have not yet had a complete view of human’s language and speech ability. I believe that trans-disciplinary studies will enable us to have its scientific modeling. In this talk, I would like to int...

In earlier work, we discussed using data encapsulation to provide integrated access to large amounts of heterogeneous information through WWW browsers. Here, we describe a visual data modeling language which supports the generation of metadata entities to encapsulate raw data. A prototype version of an interpreter for our interactive Visual Repository Definition Language (VRDL) is now operation...

Robots belong to a class of Cyber-Physical Systems where complex software as a mobile device has to fulfill tasks in a complex environment. Modeling robotics applications for analysis and code generation requires modeling languages for the logical software architecture and the system behavior. The MontiArcAutomaton modeling framework integrates six independently developed modeling languages to ...

In order to support the development of complex products, modeling tools and processes need to support codesign of software and hardware in an integrated way. Modelica is the major object-oriented mathematical modeling language for component-oriented modeling of complex physical systems and UML is the dominant graphical modeling notation for software. The ModelicaML UML profile integrates Modeli...

Integrated development environments such as Eclipse allow users to write programs quickly by presenting a set of recommendations for code completion. Similarly, word processing tools such as Microsoft Word present corrections for grammatical errors in sentences. Both of these existing structure editors use a set of constraints expressed in the form of a natural language grammar to restrict/corr...

We describe GATE, the General Architecture for Text Engineering, an integrated visual development environment to support the visual assembly, execution and analysis of modular natural language processing systems. The visual model is an executable data flow program graph, automatically synthesised from data dependency declarations of language processing modules. The graph is then directly execut...

A new framework is proposed to integrate the various constraints, both local and global, that are present in the language. Local constraints are captured via ngram language modeling, while global constraints are taken into account through the use of latent semantic analysis. An integrative formulation is derived for the combination of these two paradigms, resulting in several families of multi-...

Deliberation in highly-dynamic domains such as robotic soccer requires a rich representation language that can deal with continuous change, uncertainty, and multiple agents, among other things. For this purpose we have developed the language ICPGOLOG, a variant of the logic-based action language GOLOG. We show how to specify plans for soccer agents such as playing a double pass in ICPGOLOG and ...

Helping software designers in their task implies the development of tools with intelligent reasoning capabilities. One such capability is the integration of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools, thus improving the designer/tool interface. In this paper, we present a Case Based Reasoning (CBR) approach that enables the generation of Unified Modeli...

Model-based techniques are in wide-spread use for the design and implementation of domain specific languages (DSLs) and their tooling. The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) is a frequently used environment for model-based language engineering. With its underlying modelling language Ecore, its XML serialisation support and its versatile extensibility it provides a solid grounding for many task-sp...
