Towards Combining ThinkLets and Dialogue Games in Collaborative Modeling: an Explorative Case
Stijn J. B. A. Hoppenbrouwers, Wim van Stokkum · Radboud Repository (Radboud University) · 2011
We present a next step in our ongoing effort to conceive innovative support approaches for collaborative modeling. We propose to blend the well-established Collaboration Engineering approach (rooted in CSCW) with the Dialogue Game approach (rooted in Conceptual Modeling), viewing the second as a specialized extension of the first, and describing how they can complement each other. We hope to eventually link not only the approaches, but also the two fields. We provide a small but realistic illustration of our proposal at the hand of a real, industrially used elicitation pattern from knowledge modeling, and briefly show how this pattern can be wrapped up as an ʻm-thinkLetʼ.
