Morphological Analysis Project List

Since 1995 we have utilized Morphological Analysis in more than 80 projects. Some of them are presented here, with sample morphological fields and article downloads where indicated.

NOTE: Normally, a project utilizing morphological analysis results in a number of morphological fields representing different aspects of the problem complex at hand. The fields presented here are examples from each of the studies indicated, and do not represent the complete range of the studies. Also, the articles and/or sample morphological fields presented derive either from non-classified studies done for Swedish government agencies (and are therefore in the public domain) or have been released by the clients involved. In some cases, fields have been simplified or otherwise altered slightly at the client's request, in order to protect sensitive information.
