Abstract

Vaucanson has been designed to satisfy the needs of the automaticians. There are, however, other fields where automata are widely used. This prospective report will focus on linguistics, and more precisely the automata needs of the natural language processing community since the applications differ from our usual ones. This way, we will be able to assess our range of applicability and usability. First, we will explore the different domains and detail the various needs. Then, we will be able to evaluate whether or not Vaucanson is usable for those domains and, finallydiscuss some potential work leads.
