Automating NL Appointment Scheduling with COSMA
نویسنده
چکیده
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 email. We demonstrate 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.

متن کاملInteractive Decisions in COSMA-Negotiations
Comunicational interaction of agents can be described at different levels of complexity and abstraction: The lowest level introduces possible message types. The protocol level links messages together to create communicational contexts. The decision layer consists of all (usually domaindependent) criteria and measurements to rank and compare different suggestions and proposals arising during a n...
متن کاملSoftware for Applied Semantics*
This paper recommends an approach to the implementation of semantic representation languages (SRLs) which exploits a parallelism between SRLs and programming languages (PLs). The design requirements of SRLs for natural language are similar to those of PLs in their goals. First, in both cases we seek modules in which both the surface representation (print form) and the underlying data structures...
