Preface

The design of modern hardware systems involves many designers from different fields with different backgrounds that work on several abstraction levels each of which uses dedicated (formal) languages. In addition, customers are tightly integrated into the design process, and hence natural language is the ubiquitous language that connects all participants. Each design process starts with a natural language specification that serves as a starting point to the design flow and consists of all requirements for the final system. Since the specification is not formally defined, it is extremely prone to errors which may only be detected late in the design flow. In order to overcome this problem, scientists have investigated how natural language processing (NLP) techniques can be utilized in order to automatize the requirements engineering process and the translation of natural language specifications into formal descriptions. Several works on this topic addressing a variety of aspects are discussed in this book. In Chap. 1, Natalia Vanetik, Marina Litvak, and Efi Levi describe an event summarizer and event detector based on Twitter posts
