Program

March 18th, 2019 - Essen, Germany

 

Overview. The morning program will mainly feature scientific papers, and demos of prototype tools from the RE scientific community.

The early afternoon program will be dedicated to a showcase of industrial NLP tools for requirements quality assurance and management, from different vendors.

In the late afteroon, we will have report papers presentations, in which five different EU groups interested in NLP4RE will present their ongoing and future work.
