Automatically generating natural-language descriptions of software
models and specifications is not a new idea. The first such system
was Swartout's GIST Paraphraser (Swartout, 1982). More recent projects
include the paraphraser in ARIES (Johnson et al., 1992); the GEMA
data-flow diagram describer (Scott and de Souza, 1989); and Gulla's
paraphraser for the PPP system (Gulla, 1993). MoDEx certainly belongs
in the tradition of these specification paraphrasers, but the combination
of features that we will describe in the next section (and in particular
the customizability) is, to our knowledge, unique.
