Parameterized Service Specifications (B01)

• Subject Area: Software Engineering and Programming Languages ; General and Comparative Linguistics, Experimental Linguistics, Typology, Non-European Languages
• Term: from 2011 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 160364472

Subproject B1 addresses the communication with the end user, in light of the retrieval, composition, analysis, and understanding of services. The goal is to include the user in the service composition process as well as to adequately explain the resulting service. To this end, we will investigate how to design and operate domain-specific dialog systems, which guide the interactive acquisition and completion of service specifications automatically. Moreover, we seek to develop computational text generation methods, in order to explain the conducted composition process in natural language tailored towards the concrete user. Above all, the explanation aims to clarify which service specifications could be fulfilled and where adaptations were necessary.
