The goal of this tutorial is to introduce an approach to human-machine dialogue design that comes from finite-state abstract analysis of dialogue; connections with current industrial standards such as VoiceXML, as well as the use of rapid dialogue development tools such as CSLU RAD, will be presented. The various techniques will be illustrated during two practicals, one focussing on VoiceXML presentation and one on rapid dialogue prototyping with the CSLU RAD tool.
The tutorial corresponds to 2 sessions and will take place twice during the week
