This component, called the Problem Assistant is responsible for processing constraints on a possible solution obtained from various sources, namely user and the system's domain-specific information. The authors present findings on the implementation of a dialogue management interface to the Problem Assistant. The dialogue system supports simple mixed-initiative planning interactions in the TRAINS domain, which is still a relatively complex domain involving a number of logical constraints and relations forming the basis for the collaborative problem-solving behavior that drives the dialogue. The book also: Presents novel methods for enabling spoken dialogue systems to construct and manage complex tasks and interdependencies with different applications Describes late-breaking research on next-generation spoken dialogue systems Investigates how spoken dialogue systems may be improved in terms of usability and user friendliness   UR - http://148.231.10.114:2048/login?url=http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4419-9728-9 ER -
