Abstract
In this paper we present our work on requirements elicitation. The elicitation process is a complex task which necessitates computer support. Elicitation systems should ideally help their users check the correctness of the specifications obtained but also actively guide them in the acquisition of the requirements. We consider hereafter systems that communicate in natural language. We describe a framework that tries to improve the quality of the guidance it provides to its users by taking into account natural language constraints. We discuss the need for a theory of natural language dialogue structure, and we show how we have integrated such a theory within an early prototype of an elicitation system. Keywords: requirements elicitation, guidance, knowledge-based systems, natural language, mixedinitiative, WWW 1 Introduction Numerous frameworks, such as goal-oriented strategies (Dardenne et al., 1993), scenario-based strategies (Hsia et al., 1994) and rapid prototyping (Andriole, 1994...
