Abstract

Research in dialogue systems has been moving towards reusable and adaptable architectures for managing dialogue execution and integrating heterogeneous subsystems. In this paper we present a formalisation of Admp, an agent-based architecture which supports the development of dialogue applications. It features a central data structure shared between software agents, it allows the integration of external systems, and it includes a meta-level in which heuristic control can be embedded.

This work was supported by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), grant number A/05/05081 and by the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), Collaborative Research Centre 378 for Resource-adaptive Cognitive Processes.
