  • Abstract
    The potential role of natural language processing in the requirements engineering process has been overstated in the past, possibly due to fundamental misunderstandings of the requirements engineering process itself. Since more realistic ambitions are likely to lead to less disappointment in the future, an effort is made to identify some phases and tasks where natural language processing may usefully be applied. It is suggested that the validation of requirements must remain an informal, social process
