ABSTRACT
As the complexity of human-computer interfaces increases, those who use these interfaces as well as those reponsible for their design have recognized an urgent need for substantive research in the human factors of software development [2], [5]. Because of the magnitude of the task of producing software for individual human-computer interfaces, appropriate tools are needed for defining and improving such interfaces, both in research and production environments. This paper describes the research being carried out to construct DMS (Dialogue Management System), which is a complete system for defining, modifying, executing, and metering human-computer dialogues.

Dialog acts in greeting and leavetaking in social talk
ISIAA 2017: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGCHI International Workshop on Investigating Social Interactions with Artificial AgentsConversation proceeds through dialogue moves or acts, and dialog act annotation can aid the design of artificial dialog.

From vocal to multimodal dialogue management
ICMI '06: Proceedings of the 8th international conference on Multimodal interfacesMultimodal, speech-enabled systems pose different research problems when compared to unimodal, voice-only dialogue systems. One of the important issues is the question of how a multimodal interface should look like in order to make the multimodal ...
