This book aims to inform researchers with an interest in natural language generation about advances in the field. It is organised around four topics – system architectures, content planning, discourse planning and realisation in linguistic form - and it presents some of the most important works in this area of research.

Helmut Horacek works for the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence and taught at Saarland University, Germany. Michael Zock is Emeritus Research Director of the French National Centre for Scientific Research, Aix-Marseille University, France.
