  • Abstract
    A simple language is demonstrated that combines specifications and manuals. This shows firstly that a user manual can be automatically reconstructed from a logic specification that is effectively identical to the original logic (up to ambiguities in natural language), and secondly that such an automated process can help detect errors. The process is fast and is suitable for use in participatory design
