Abstract:
This paper proposes a generic platform for developing fast and reliable Distributed Interactive Systems. The
modelling is based on a component design approach, with element structure simple and versatile enough to
allow the integration of existing algorithms. The AgentSlang platform consists in a series of original components
integrated with several existing algorithms, to provide a development environment for Interactive
Systems. There are several original parts in our approach. First, the platform is based on a data and component
oriented design, which integrates into a unified system the concept of Feedback Management, Dialogue
Management and a flexible component architecture. Second, the Syn!bad language, is integrated as a component
of AgentSlang. Third, the message exchange speed is superior of any existing platforms, even in the
context of providing extra features, such as action execution feedback and data type consistency check.
