Consistency Checking Of Natural Language Temporal Requirements Using Answer-Set Programming, Wenbin Li
Consistency Checking Of Natural Language Temporal Requirements Using Answer-Set Programming, Wenbin Li
Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science
Successful software engineering practice requires high quality requirements. Inconsistency is one of the main requirement issues that may prevent software projects from being success. This is particularly onerous when the requirements concern temporal constraints. Manual checking whether temporal requirements are consistent is tedious and error prone when the number of requirements is large. This dissertation addresses the problem of identifying inconsistencies in temporal requirements expressed as natural language text. The goal of this research is to create an efficient, partially automated, approach for checking temporal consistency of natural language requirements and to minimize analysts' workload.
