Computational Models for Turn Management using Statecharts
Frieder Loch · 2011
This paper presents a model for turn management, that relies on statecharts, and discusses how emotions can influence the turn taking behavior of an agent. The first part of the paper develops an interaction state model, that is used to keep track of the state of the interaction. As a means to test the model, we propose dialog patterns that are described later on. In the second part, the influence of three basic emotions on the turn taking behavior of an agent is investigated. A concept to store and retrieve speaking actions is described. The closing chapter discusses the architecture that was used to implement a demonstration system with the developed functionalities. Contents
