KASPER - NATURAL-LANGUAGE BASED DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION-SYSTEMS

KASPER (Konstanzer Sprachkritik-Programm fur das Software-Engineering) is designed to carry out the ortholect programme of constructive philosophy in software engineering. It is planned to acquire how conceptual software design can be methodologically developed on the basis of natural language statements in an application area. Since this programme has been implemented for data modelling first, the state-of-the-art in the related fields of information systems design will be established and a work programme is defined to use the method of linguistic criticism in the whole range of software engineering. Finally it will be pointed out that linguistic criticism may not be used for efficient construction of computer programming only, but offers the users and management in an enterprise the opportunity to organize cooperative work on the conceptual level more effectively.
