    <Paragraph position="0"> MELISSA represents a unique combination of high quality NLP and state-of-the-art software- and knowledge-engineering techniques. It potentially provides a solution to the problem of re-using legacy applications. The project realizes a systematic approach to solving the problems of NL interfacing: define a methodology, provide tools and apply them to build NL interfaces. The production of the first working prototype has proven the soundness of the concept.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> MELISSA addresses a highly relevant area wrt.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> future developments in human-computer interaction, providing users with an intuitive way of accessing the functionalities of computers.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> Future work will focus on refinement of methodologies, production of knowledge acquisition tools, improvement and extension of the SAM functionality, robustness and extension of the LPM output. Contonuous user assessment will guide the development. null</Paragraph>
