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.
