I recently read a paper entitled "The search for the perfect language", from Gregory Chaitin. In fact, the paper discusses previous work on language, gives some interesting thought on the matter, specially on the role of language in science, mathematics, philosophy, and computing. In some sort, the paper can be considered a review of Umberto Eco´s book with the same title. So, I was wondering: What is the role of language in the designing of new ICT (information and Communications Technologies) architectures? Or in other words, is there a perfect language for this?
hi Antonio, I have often thought about this in relation to knowledge representation and autonomous intelligent systems. Please check my last paper "Controlled Natural Languages for Language Generation in Artificial Cognition" for this, above all the last but one section in terms of formalization of actions via the support of formal language. Please check out Controlled Natural Languages in general, as they can provide an interesting HR interface and (formal but readable) representation mean.
The object oriented programming (OOP) is usually used nowdays by the programmers because it can be applied in UML design
In recent decades, information and communication technology has provided benefits to the community with large areas of new communications capabilities. in education, especially in language learning ICT (information and communications technology) has brought about a rapid impact in the advancement of language learning. The uses of ICT will enable to facilitate the intercommunication of teachers and students.
- Through ICT, images can easily be used in teaching and improving the retentive memory of students.
- Through ICT, teachers can easily explain complex instructions and ensure students’ comprehension.
- Through ICT, teachers are able to create interactive classes and make the lessons more enjoyable, which could improve student attendance and concentration.
- ICT can speed up the language learning process by offering additional opportunities for practice outside the classroom.
- Meaningful learning, through the use of ICT teachers can demonstrate that it provides the material in real life. students get a clear visualization of the material being taught.
The first step is to make a clear distinction between analysis and design languages, the former targeting the interactions between people, devices, and computer systems, the latter targeting systems software components.
Then, depending on the task, there should be some Costs/Benefits analysis between domain specific languages (DSLs) and general purpose ones like UML.
