Abstract

We report on the development of a prototype dialogue game for FCO-IM. Dialogue games are systems for executing controlled conversations. As part of an ongoing effort to analyze and support collaborative modeling processes by means of dialogue games, we created a dialogue game prototype for essential parts of the FCO-IM modeling process. The project was exploratory in nature, but results suggest that eventually it should be possible to develop dialogue games that could effectively support fact-based conceptual modeling efforts. In addition, work on such games enhances our insights in the FCO-IM modeling process, and leads to improvements and extensions of its operational guidelines.
