Zusammenfassung
This work is based on several attempts to provide a definition and a design approach of Artificial Companions
that can be found in the referenced literature. We focus on computer agents that simulate human language
behaviour and are aimed to serve, to assist and to accompany their owner over a long period of time, that
we call Artificial Conversational Companions. Although accepted by the research community, the visions
set very high expectations of such agents, but they do not address the technical feasibility and the system
limitations. This is the first approach to define a set of features that allow an artificial agent to be regarded as
an Artificial Conversational Companions. We describe the relationships between the components and identify
systematic shortcomings of the current systems. We propose a scalable method for implementing the desired
capabilities of an Artificial Conversational Companions in a generic framework with reusable, customizable
and interdependent components.
