In this paper, we propose an agent-based conversation support system for people with aphasia. Due to their communication handicap, supporting remote conversation of people with aphasia over networks is difficult. A video chat accompanied with a simple screen sharing function has shown promising results. However, two problems need to be addressed to make remote conversation more useful and flexible. The first problem is that the simple screen sharing mechanism requires similar terminals with similar screen size at both ends. The other problem is that, for novice conversation partners, conducting a conversation without proper cues is difficult. To overcome these problems, we introduce agent-based architecture that consists of a conversation mediation agent and user agents. The conversation mediation agent resides in a web server and monitors conversation states based on a conversation state transition model. The user agent is at the user's web browser and communicates with the conversation mediation agent. This paper describes how agent-based architecture can enhance a remote conversation support system.
