Abstract

In the context of the process of software development automated recognition of class operations from textual descriptions of a system is an open research topic. This paper presents a proposal to deal whit this problem, which is based on Sowa’s conceptual graphs and a linguistic treatment of their components; this treatment is based on verb classification identification from three features: telicity, dynamism and durability
