Using Forward Temporal Planning for the Production of Interactive Tutoring Dialogues

  • Chapter
Advances in Intelligent Systems

Abstract

Dialogue is an effective means of communication between two or more participants. Its value has been acknowledged since ancient times, when it was used by Socrates as a method to discover truth and later evolved to an instruction tool in Platos’ Academy. Its power lies into four attributes, inherent in its structure [1]:
