[mod.ai] References -- Coordinator systems

davidwk@tecnet-clemson.UUCP.UUCP (02/08/87)

     In their book "Understanding Computers and Cognition", Winograd and Flores
discuss coordinator systems, which are programs that employ ideas from Searle's
speech acts and system theory to facilitate "conversations" between computer
users.  Is there anything in the literature about these creatures?  I would
greatly appreciate any pointers.
     Thanks in advance.
