Abstract
This paper describes a multiagent system for natural language processing that deals with task oriented dialogue processing in Portuguese. The system is based on Discourse Structure Theory, on Centering Theory and on Lochbaum’s work on modeling the Intentional Structure of the discourse. The dialogue takes place between the user and the system in such a way that the user plays the role of one participant and the system plays the other. Together, both the system and the user collaborate to achieve the goal the user had in mind when he/she initiated the dialogue.
