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. John M.
