Abstrakt: In order to respond to the increasingly diverse requirements for network services, it would be best if the specifications could be defined by the users who actually have those requirements. If the users themselves are to define the specifications, the best case would be to have them use the natural languages that they are familiar and comfortable with. Since network services become visible to the users via their terminals, when users write specifications for network services, the specifications may be defined in a form including specifications for the terminals in addition to network services. In this paper, we propose a method of extracting network service specifications from natural-language descriptions made from various points of view. First we will organize the concepts of network services on the basis of a model for network services. Next we will extract a number of viewpoints from the relationships between the network service providers and the receivers, i.e. the terminals and users, and clarify the relationships between those viewpoints and the network-service concepts. On the basis of this, we will propose a method for describing network service specifications in a natural language and for understanding them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
