Abstract
Architecture of the Dialogue Shell ***DRAFT*** 2/00 to appear in Natural Language Engineering, 2000. 7 mantic hierarchy and to a world KB manager that handles queries about the current situation, managing the interfaces to domain dependent reasoners and knowledge bases as needed. One of the key things to note about this architecture is the separation of the basic dialogue system components from the more domain-specific components that provide the application (shown within the dotted lines at the lower left corner of Figure 1). To illustrate this separation, consider a specific example: a travel-agent application. The back-end would provide schedule and reservation information, booking, and so on, much as current computer systems provide to human travel agents.
