Abstract: A device (CGM) for generating a file (DS) in accordance with a grammar from a text document (D1, D2) containing structural data, comprising first means for creating structural labels from structural data, second means for creating semantic labels from a semantic analysis of the content, third means provided to associate the structural labels and the semantic labels in order to form label aggregates, fourth means for generating the file from these label aggregates by using predefined associations between aggregates and elements compliant with the grammar.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for assisting in the development or use of a complex system including a plurality of components whose states and/or operations are interdependent, with documentation of the system identifying such states and/or operations, characterized in that it includes the following steps: The step of identifying the system's use cases (24) in the documentation (10) by automatically searching for symbols related to a use of the system, The step of generating procedures based on such symbols, such that a procedure will describe an operation carried out by the system in one or more steps by means of its components, and the step of assisting the user by using object-oriented programming of its procedures based on a UML standard, for “Uniform Modelling Language”.
