Title: Towards a Conversational Agent for Museum Exhibits
Speaker: Rainer Wasinger

In this talk, I will outline the progress that has been made on
the development of the thinking head dialogue system for use in a museum
context. I will describe several different dialogue scenarios, principles
behind the dialogue management strategies being incorporated, as well as
discussion of the Trindikit platform and the DAMSL specifications. The talk
will additionally touch on a newly defined architecture of the dialogue
components, and include a demo of the head that was demonstrated during
Macquarie University's 2008 Open Day.
