The role of spoken language dialogue interaction in intelligent environments

An Intelligent Environment is a physical space that becomes augmented with computation, communication and digital content, thus transcending the limits of direct human perception. Spoken dialogue is a key factor for user-friendly human-computer interaction. This article details how to integrate Spoken Dialogue Systems into Intelligent Environments. We will outline research areas and future trends including assistive, adaptive and proactive system design, dialogue management and system-environment interaction.
