Abstract :
For large software companies, the sheer number of textual requirements presents specific challenges. To find market opportunities, organizations must continuously elicit new requirements and reevaluate old ones as market needs evolve. Developing large, complex software products aimed at broad markets involves identifying and maintaining the link between product requirements and the massive inflow of customers´ wishes. Automating this support through linguistic engineering could save considerable time and improve software quality.
