TY - RPRT T1 - Natural language dialogue service for appointment scheduling agents T3 - Kaiserslautern ; Saarbrücken : DFKI, 1997 A1 - Busemann,Stephan A1 - Declerck,Thierry A1 - Diagne,Abdel Kader A1 - Dini,Luca A1 - Klein,Judith A1 - Schmeier,Sven Y1 - 2011/06/29 N2 - Appointment scheduling is a problem faced daily by many individuals and organizations. Cooperating agent systems have been developed to partially automate this task. In order to extend the circle of participants as far as possible we advocate the use of natural language transmitted by e-mail. We describe COSMA, a fully implemented German language server for existing appointment scheduling agent systems. COSMA can cope with multiple dialogues in parallel, and accounts for differences in dialogue behaviour between human and machine agents. NL coverage of the sublanguage is achieved through both corpus-based grammar development and the use of message extraction techniques.
