Abstract

A logic programming based dialogue system with the capability of inferring user attitudes and accessing heterogeneous external relational databases while doing syntactic and semantic sentence parsing is presented.The system was built using a logic programming language - Prolog -, a development tool - ISCO [2] - and a language for representing actions - LUPS[4].An application of the developed system to the Universidade de 脡vora's Integrated Information System (SIIUE) was developed and some examples of typical dialogues are presented.
