Research in software testing has identified and studied several criteria to measure the adequacy of a set of input data used to test software. Since the existing adequacy criteria were developed and demonstrated in a non-OO environment, it is important to examine whether those criteria can be equally effective for measuring the test adequacy of OO programs. This paper describes a case study per...

Adequacy of process design is closely connected to the notion of process model adequacy, which in turn is a surrogate for model quality. Quality of modeling is an important field of research in which, however, a comprehensive and generally acknowledged understanding is still outstanding. Notions of “model”, “adequacy” and “quality” often remain vague and focus on single aspects such as “syntax”...

Currently, integration of planning and generation is an active research area. New insights are appearing from research on speakers’ intentions and attitudes, tactical planning, argumentation strategies, dialogue management, and system design. In this paper I will explore the new directions under two general headings: conversational adequacy and system evaluation. 1 Conversational adequacy Fluen...

As Machine Translation (MT) becomes more popular among end-users, an increasingly relevant issue is that of estimating the quality of automatic translations for a particular task. The main application for such quality estimates has been selecting good enough translations for human post-editing. The endusers, in this case, are fluent speakers of both source and target languages and the quality e...
