The current software industry has an emerging issue with natural language-based requirement specifications. However, the accuracy of such requirement analysis remains a concern. It is noted that most errors still occur at the requirement specification stage. Defining and analyzing requirements based on natural language has become necessary. To address this issue, the linguistic theories of Chomsky and Fillmore are applied to the analysis of natural language-based requirements. This involves identifying the semantics of morphemes and nouns. Consequently, a mechanism was proposed for extracting object state designs and automatically generating code templates. Building on this mechanism, I suggest generating natural language-based comic images. Utilizing state diagrams, I apply changes to the states of comic characters (protagonists) and extract variations in their expressions. This introduces a novel approach to comic image generation. I anticipate highly productive comic creation by applying software processes to Cartoon ART.

In AI image generation tools, most general users must use an effective prompt to craft queries or statements to elicit the desired response (image, result) from the AI model. But we are software engineers who focus on software processes. At the process's early stage, we use informal and formal requirement specifications. At this time, we adapt the natural language approach into requirement engineering and toon engineering. Most Generative AI tools do not produce the same image in the same query. The reason is that the same data asset is not used for the same query. To solve this problem, we intend to use informal requirement engineering and linguistics to create a toon. Therefore, we propose a sequence diagram and image generation mechanism by analyzing and applying key objects and attributes as an informal natural language requirement analysis. Identify morpheme and semantic roles by analyzing natural language through linguistic methods. Based on the analysis results, a sequence diagram and an image are generated through the diagram. We expect consistent image generation using the same image element asset through the proposed mechanism.

In this work, we first introduce two main approaches to writing requirements and then propose a method based on Natural Language Processing to improve requirement authoring and the overall coherence, cohesion and organization of requirement documents. We investigate the structure of requirement kernels, and then the discourse structure associated with those kernels. This will then enable the system to accurately extract requirements and their related contexts from texts (called requirement mining). Finally, we relate a first experimentation on requirement mining based on texts from seven companies. An evaluation that compares those results with manually annotated corpora of documents is given to conclude.

In Korea, we still use function point based cost estimations for software size and cost of a project. The current problem is that we make difficultly calculating function points with requirements and also have less accurate. That is, it is difficult for non-experts to analyze requirements and calculate function point values with them, and even experts often derive different function points. In addition, all stakeholders strongly make the validity and accuracy of the function point values of the project before /after the development is completed. There are methods for performing function point analysis using source code [1][2][3][4] and some researchers [5][6][7] attempt empirical verification of function points about the estimated cost. There is no research on automatic cost validation with source code after the final development is completed. In this paper, we propose automatically how to calculate Function Points based on natural language requirements before development and prove FP calculation based on the final source code after development. We expect validation by comparing the function scores calculated by forward engineering and reverse engineering methods.

고품질의 소프트웨어를 개발하기 위해서는 개발 초기단계에 정확한 요구사항 정의 및 분석이 필요하다. 그러나 대부분의 자연어 기반의 요구사항 문장 표현은 부정확성과 이해도 어려운 실정이다. 또한 요구사항은 같은 의미를 가진 객체나 용어들이 중복 식별된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 고객 요구사항을 언어학적 및 의미적 문맥 분석을 통한 효율적인 요구사항 분석 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 요구공학 언어학자인 Fillmore의 의미론적 분석 방법을 요구공학에 접목하고, 의미론적 분석 개선 방안을 제안한다. 이 방법은 자연어 기반의 요구사항을 Goal Oriented Use Case Modeling 통해 쉽게 읽고 이해 가능한 요구 사항 분석이 기대된다.

Software inspection is widely believed to be an effective method for software verification and validation (V&V). However, software inspection is labor-intensive and, since it uses little technology, software inspection is viewed upon as unsuitable for a more technology-oriented development environment. Nevertheless, software inspection is gaining in popularity. KAIST Nuclear I&C and Information Engineering Laboratory (NICIEL) has developed software management and inspection support tools, collectively named "SIS-RT. "SIS-RT is designed to partially automate the software inspection processes. SIS-RT supports the analyses of traceability between a given set of specification documents. To make SIS-RT compatible for documents written in Korean, certain techniques in natural language processing have been studied [9]. Among the techniques considered, case grammar is most suitable for analyses of the Korean language [3]. In this paper, we propose a methodology that uses a case grammar approach to analyze the traceability between documents written in Korean. A discussion regarding some examples of such an analysis will follow.

Currently, generative artificial intelligence is a hot topic around the world. Generative artificial intelligence creates various images, art, video clips, advertisements, etc. The problem is that it is very difficult to verify the internal work of artificial intelligence. As a requirements engineer, I attempt to create a toon image by applying linguistic mechanisms to the current issue. This is combined with the UML object model through the semantic role analysis technique of linguists Chomsky and Fillmore. Then, the derived properties are linked to the toon creation template. This is to ensure productivity based on reusability rather than creativity in toon engineering. In the future, we plan to increase toon image productivity by incorporating software development processes and reusability.

This paper presents a method of using syntax and shallow semantic analysis for Vietnamese question generation (QG). Specifically, our proposed technique concentrates on investigating both the syntactic and shallow semantic structure of each sentence. The main goal of our method is to generate questions from a single sentence. These generated questions are known as factoid questions which require short, fact-based answers. In general, syntax-based analysis is one of the most popular approaches within the QG field, but it requires linguistic expert knowledge as well as a deep understanding of syntax rules in the Vietnamese language. It is thus considered a high-cost and inefficient solution due to the requirement of significant human effort to achieve qualified syntax rules. To deal with this problem, we collected the syntax rules in Vietnamese from a Vietnamese language textbook. Moreover, we also used different natural language processing (NLP) techniques to analyze Vietnamese shallow syntax and semantics for the QG task. These techniques include: sentence segmentation, word segmentation, part of speech, chunking, dependency parsing, and named entity recognition. We used human evaluation to assess the credibility of our model, which means we manually generated questions from the corpus, and then compared them with the generated questions. The empirical evidence demonstrates that our proposed technique has significant performance, in which the generated questions are very similar to those which are created by humans.

For the purpose of technology planning and R&D strategy, this research developed a methodology for deriving technical information based on stakeholder requirements using natural language processing technology. The requirements are decomposed into semantic information based on grammar rules, and then the requirement information based technology information can be derived by linking with the three technical information extracted from the patent.

기존의 다양한 테스트 케이스 생성에 대한 연구는 모델로부터 테스트 케이스를 추출한다. 하지만 실무의 경우 자연어 요구사항 문장으로부터 테스트 케이스를 생성할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해 자연어 문장의 분석하고, 분석 과정 및 결과를 요구공학 영역에 접목하는 연구는 매우 필요하다. 하지만 한국어 문장의 다양성 때문에, 한국어 자연어 요구사항 분석은 어려운 이슈이다. 우리는 한국어 자연어 요구사항으로부터 테스트 케이스 생성 연구 중 하나로써, 자연어 요구사항의 정의 분석, C3Tree 모델의 생성, 원인-결과 그래프의 생성, 결정 테이블의 생성 단계를 통한 테스트 케이스 생성 방법을 연구한다. 본 논문은 중단 단계로써, 메타모델링 변환 기법을 이용하여 C3Tree 모델 기반의 결정 테이블로부터 테스트 케이스 생성 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 모델 변환 규칙의 수정을 통해 모델 to 모델, 모델 to 텍스트로의 변환 과정을 제어한다. 모델이 변형되거나, 새로운 모델이 추가되더라도 프로그램 알고리즘의 직접적인 수정 없이 모델 변환 규칙을 유지보수 할 수 있다. 평가 결과, 결정 테이블에 대한 모든 조합이 테스트 케이스로 자동 생성되었다.
