An Agent-Based Architecture for Dialogue Systems

Ibot: An Agent-Based Software Framework for Creating Domain Conversational Agents

“…BUCKLEY & BENZMÜLLER, 2005) and(BUCKLEY & BENZMÜLLER, 2006) implement and instantiate the Dialogue Manager using ADMP (Agent-based Dialogue Management Platform), an architecture which uses a society of software agents to compute and control update rules and information state transitions by using a blackboard. Because it provides a meta-level to reason about heuristics, ADMP provides better control of the dialogue.…”

“…(BUCKLEY & BENZMÜLLER, 2005) and(BUCKLEY & BENZMÜLLER, 2006) implement a dialogue manager that uses the information state approach together with the software agent paradigm: each precondition rule is associated with an agent, that evaluates if the rule is applicable at a certain time and performs the necessary transition calculations. An update agent, controlling the update strategy, is responsible for checking the available transitions and selecting one to become the…”
