Semantic Computing is an emerging research field that has drawn much attention from both academia and industry. It addresses the derivation and matching of semantics of computational "content" where "content" may be anything including text, multimedia, hardware, network, etc. which can be mapped to many areas in Computer Science that involve analyzing and processing the intentions of humans with computational content. This paper discusses some potential applications of Semantic Computing in Computer Science.

“…Even if natural language is considered a natural way for humans to command computers ( [32], [33], [34]), it cannot be efficiently used to design integrated user interfaces, a fundamental mashup development activity [35]. Natural-Mash not only enables the development of relatively complex mashups through supporting various programming constructs (i.e., events) in a very abstract manner, but also, at the same time, supports the user interface design by means of direct manipulation through a drag-and-drop WYSIWYG interface.…”

End-User Development (EUD) can be exploited on the Web, where users have the opportunity to create niche "Web Mashup" applications as a means to address their long tail of situational needs in different domains of application. In this paper, we describe the design and evaluation of NaturalMash, an innovative EUD system for mashups. NaturalMash provides a high level of expressive power while it is still usable by non-professional users. This clearly distinguishes NaturalMash from existing mashup EUD tools that are either too limited or highly specialized for inexperienced users. The NaturalMash user interface efficiently combines different techniques such as live programming, natural language programming, What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG), and Programming by Demonstration (PbD). The design of NaturalMash adopts a formative evaluation approach, and has completed two design and evaluation iterations. The paper reports the results of the last formative evaluation and discusses the implications of the findings. The results are promising and suggest that the proposed system has a short and gentle learning curve and enables even non-professional users to rapidly build useful mashups.

“…V. RELATED WORK Much work has been done in recent years in the field of natural language processing. Most of this effort has been directed towards either database query ( [15], [19], [24], [25], [28], [31], [32], [34]) or automatic programming ( [3], [4], [13], [17], [27], and as discussed in [18]). Our current prototype natural language system uses techniques similar to those found in some of these systems.…”

A natural language processor is described for control of a machine in task-oriented situations. Particular emphasis is given to issues related to flow-of-control statements in dialogue. These include branching constructs as in "if row 1 contains a positive entry, then..." and looping constructs as in "repeat for all other rows." Special problems are discussed concerning the processing of deeply nested control structures, pronoun resolution, and the handling of conjunctions. An experiment is described in which the robustness of the conditional feature was tested with a group of computer naive subjects. It was found that subjects could discover and use the feature effectively in solving problems even though the fact of its existence was systematically withheld during the training session.I.
