Abstract
We implemented a generic dialogue shell that can be configured
for and applied to domain-specific dialogue applications. A toolbox
for ontology-based dialogue engineering provides a technical solution for
the two challenges of engineering ontological domain extensions and debugging
functional modules. We support a rapid implementation cycle
until the dialogue systems works robustly for a new domain, e.g., the
dialogue-based retrieval of medical images.
