Notion of Semantics in Computer Science A Systematic Literature ReviewAuthors: Sai Gollapudi,Venkatesh Choppella Conference: 14th International Conference on Natural Language Processing Date: 2017-12-18 Report no: IIIT/TR/2017/106 AbstractIn this paper we report on a Systematic Literature Review where we explored the notion of semantics in Computer Science (CSE) literature. Our goal was 1) to sur- face how the idea of semantics has been used and represented, and 2) to surface its publication pattern in CSE. Our automated search in 5 CSE repositories yielded 653 relevant papers, emerging from multiple disciplines and geographies, spanning a period from year 1967 to 2017. We short- listed 50 representative samples to study. This literature review was motivated by an external Web Accessibility effort in which we wanted to understand how to influ- ence the various meanings that a variety of human end-user could derive by varying the computer rendering of a given content. The results of the SLR indicate that 44% of papers do have their own definition, al- most all are formal in their presentation, and 94% of them have a notion of seman- tics that favors the computer as a proces- sor. We observe the limited human ori- ented focus on semantics in CSE, and sug- gest such semantics focus as an area of po- tential study. Full paper: pdf Centre for Software Engineering Research Lab |
