Abstract
A proposal for the design of intelligent dialogue systems is developed within the context of the work on SDBMS, a Spatial DataBase Management System, part of the ISIS project at the Canadian Defence and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine. The approach uses the Models aspect of Edwards & Mason's (1988 a ) methodology as an organizing principle for design, including the two central notions of explicit-model design and a self-referencing model configuration . Further, a design space is presented that combines the aspects and dimensions of the methodology in order to provide clarity of focus for the developer who must consider a multitude of options in designing and implementing intelligent systems. Aspects of the methodology particularly important to the design and development of intelligent dialogue systems are discussed, namely, Connectivity, Control, Form and Modality. The design methodology is elaborated through discussions and recommendations for how it might be applied in building future versions of SDBMS.
