Abstract
The structured dialog is an important concept as it is natural for a user to break down a main goal into several sub-goals. Meanwhile, no architecture model permits the systematic design of a system taking into account such a structured dialog. In previous works, we described a new architecture model allowing this and built a library that permits a designer to create a graphical interactive application dialog controller as easily as he would build the graphical user interface. After presenting these works and comparing our approach to existing solutions, this paper introduces a graphical tool which provides an interactive development environment for designing structured dialog applications.
