Abstract

Customers' requirements written in a natural language are rewritten to modeling language in development phases. In many cases, those who participate in development cannot understand requirements written in modeling language. This paper proposes the translation technique from the requirement model which is written by REED(REquirement EDitor) tool into a natural language in order to help for the customer understanding requirement model. This technique consists of three phases: $1^{st}$ phase is generating the IORT(Input-Output Relation Tree), $2^{nd}$ phase is generating the RTT(Requirement Translation Tree), $3^{rd}$ phase is translating into a natural language.

자연어로 작성된 고객의 요구사항은 개발과정에서 모델링 언어로 재작성 된다. 그러나 개발에 참여하는 다양한 계층의 사람들은 모델링 언어로 작성된 요구사항을 이해하지 못하는 경우가 많이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 REED(REquirement EDitor)로 작성된 요구사항 모델을 자연어로 번역하여 개발에 참여하는 모든 계층의 사람들이 요구사항 모델을 이해할 수 있도록 도와주는 방안을 제시한다. 제시한 방법은 3단계로 구성되어 있다. 1단계 IORT(Input-Output Relation Tree) 생성, 2단계 RTT(Requirement Translation Tree) 생성, 3단계 자연어로 번역의 단계를 거친다.
