Abstract

In this paper we describe how Java can be used to build an object-oriented dialogue manager for spoken language interactions between a user and an automated system. The approach is based on the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Communicator architecture. By creating object-based dialogue management components in Java we separate generic from domain-specific dialogue behaviour in the interests of maintainability and extensibility.
