“…On an abstract level, FADE consists of two processing layers (see Fig. 7): (i) a production rule system called PATE; a Production rule system Based on Typed Feature Structures (see [7,8]) that is responsible for the reactive interpretation of perceived monomodal events, and (ii) a discourse modeler (called DiM) that is responsible for maintaining a coherent representation of the ongoing discourse and for the resolution of referring and elliptical expressions (see [9,10]).…”

The interactive scenarios realized in the two prototypes of Virtual Human require an approach that allows humans and virtual characters to interact naturally and flexibly. In this article we present how the autonomous control of the virtual characters and the interpretation of user interactions is realized in the Conversational Dialogue Engine (CDE) framework. For each virtual and real interlocutor one CDE is responsible for dialogue processing. We will introduce the knowledge needed for the CDE-approach and present the modules of a CDE. The real-time requirement resulted in the integrated processing of deliberative and reactive processing, which is needed, e.g., to generate an appropriate nonverbal behavior of virtual characters.
