To: simulation@uflorida.cis.ufl.edu


I am currently developing a training simulation as part of my graduate
work in Instructional Psychology.  This simulation models a special
kind of "conversation" between the student and a simulated respondent
from whom the student attempts to elicit various types of information.

Can anyone point me to some sources on doing this type of simulation?
I have produced a satisfactory interaction by constructing a small
"rule base" of utterances for each respondent, but I am interested
in learning more about how others have solved similar problems.

I will be glad to summarize responses and citations (including those
I have located so far through traditional methods) and post to this
group.
