The development of an language checking tool for Swedish to support writing at work will serve as an example. At The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden, there has been a project on developing a writing support environment for supporting the writin...

The long term aim of the project carried out by the French National Space Agency (CNES) is to design a writing guide based on the real and regular writing of requirements. As a first step in the project, this paper proposes a linguistic analysis of requirements written in French by CNES engineers. The aim is to determine to what extent they conform to two rules laid down in INCOSE, a recent gui...

We interpret concept mapping and summary writing as elaboration tools aiming at helping students to understand new information, and to integrate it with prior knowledge. We hypothesize concept mapping to be superior to summary writing...

Writing unit test code is labor-intensive, hence it is often not done as an integral part of programming. However, unit testing is a practical approach to increasing the correctness and quality of software; for example, the Extreme Programming approach relies on frequent unit testing. In this paper we present a new approach that makes writing unit tests easier. It uses a formal specification la...

User-generated contents (UGC) such as online reviews are inherently incomplete since we do not capture the opinions of users who do not write a review.

These differences can be driven by users‟ differing sentiments towards their online experiences as well as their disposition to generate UGC. Indisc...

In this paper we propose an ontological framework for tools facilitating creative writing and story reading. It is based on an ontology implemented as a topic map and employs linguistic analysis methods for discovering conceptual entities in the text.
