A Discourse and Dialogue Infrastructure for Industrial Dissemination

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6392))

Abstract

We think that modern speech dialogue systems need a prior usability analysis to identify the requirements for industrial applications. In addition, work from the area of the Semantic Web should be integrated. These requirements can then be met by multimodal semantic processing, semantic navigation, interactive semantic mediation, user adaptation/personalisation, interactive service composition, and semantic output representation which we will explain in this paper.We will also describe the discourse and dialogue infrastructure these components develop and provide two examples of disseminated industrial prototypes.
