A CD-ROM retrieval system with multiple dialogue agents

In this paper, we proposed a new dialogue system with multiple dialogue agents. In our new system, three types of agents: a) domain agents, b) strategy agents, and c) context agents were realized. They give the following advantages to the user:• the domain agents make the user aware of the boundary between the domains.• the strategy agents make the user aware of the difference between the strategies.• the context agents help the user to deal with multiple goals.We expect that the complex behaviors of the system will become more visible to the user in different situations. The experimental results show that the user can retrieve effectively and obtain the expected goals easily by using these multiple agents.
