“…the character needs to take the current game state into account when formulating a response. A similar view is presented in [5] saying that designers need to consider dialogue flow a part of the game flow, treat dialogue actions on par with other game actions, and think of the current game state as comprising also the state(s) of the dialogue(s) taking place at the current point in time. We believe that the most successful natural language enabled games will treat natural language dialogue as an integral part of the game, rather than something added on as an afterthought.…”

In order for game characters to be believable, they must appear to possess qualities such as emotions, the ability to learn and adapt as well as being able to communicate in natural language. With this paper we aim to contribute to the development of believable non-player characters (NPCs) in games, by presenting a method for managing NPC dialogues. We have selected the trade scenario as an example setting since it offers a well-known and limited domain common in games that support ownership, such as roleplaying games. We have developed a dialogue manager in State Chart XML, a newly introduced W3C standard 1 , as part of DEAL -a research platform for exploring the challenges and potential benefits of combining elements from computer games, dialogue systems and language learning.

“…Muestra de ello son las numerosas publicaciones que pueden encontrarse en la literatura sobre la utilización de las statecharts, y de manera más concreta del SCXML, para la gestión de la interacción. Así en (Rouillard and Tarby, 2011) puede observarse cómo se ha utilizado el lenguaje SCXML para la gestión de un diálogo inteligente en un entorno domótico, o para la incorporación de diálogo en el diseño de juegos por ordenador (Brusk and Lager, 2008). Por otro lado, en (Kronlid and Lager, 2007) se muestra cómo puede usarse una versión extendida del SCXML para implementar el enfoque ISU (Information State Update) en la gestión del diálogo, y lo compara con las soluciones TrindiKit propuesta en (Larsson and Traum, 2001) y DIPPER en (Bos et al, 2003).…”

“…Así, Brusk y Lager (Brusk and Lager, 2008) proponen añadir a las transiciones un nuevo atributo "prob", que puede oscilar entre 0.0 y 1.0 (con 1.0 como valor por defecto), con la premisa de que la transición tiene lugar con la probabilidad especificada siempre que las demás condiciones se cumplan. Estas propuestas abren una posibilidad para la convergencia de la solución determinista basada en máquinas de estados que propone el lenguaje SCXML con otras soluciones de gestión de la interacción basadas en procedimientos estocásticos.…”

In this Thesis, we have addressed the difficulties related to the development of context-aware human-machine interaction systems. This issue is part of two research fields: interactive systems and contextual information sources. Traditionally both fields have been integrated through domain-specific vertical solutions that allow interactive systems to access contextual information without having to deal with low-level procedures, but restricting their interoperability with other applications and heterogeneous data sources. Thus, it is essential to boost the research on interoperable solutions that provide access to real world information through homogeneous procedures.This issue perfectly matches with the scenarios of "Ubiquitous Computing" and "Internet of Things", which point toward a future in which many objects around us will be able to acquire meaningful information about the environment and communicate it to other objects and to people. Since interactive systems are able to get information from their environment through interaction with the user, they can play an important role in this scenario as they can both consume real-world data and produce enriched information. This Thesis deals with the integration of both fields considering this technological scenario. In order to do this, we first carried out an analysis of the most important initiatives for the definition and design of interactive systems, and the main infrastructures for providing information. Through this study the use of the W3C SCXML language is proposed for both the design of interactive systems and the processing of data provided by different context sources. Thus, this work has shown how the SCXML capabilities for combining information from different modalities can also be used to process and integrate contextual information from different heterogeneous sensor sources, and therefore to develope context-aware interaction systems. Similarly, we present the Sensor Web initiative, and its semantic extension Semantic Sensor Web, as an appropriate initiative to allow uniform access and delivery of information to the context-aware interactive systems.Subsequently we have analyzed the challenges of integrating both types of initiatives: SCXML and (Semantic) Sensor Web. As a result, we state a number of functionalities that are necessary to implement in order to perform this integration. By using technologies that provide flexibility to the implementation process and are based on current recommendations and standards, we implemented a series of experimental developments that integrate the identified functionalities.xiii Finally, in order to validate our approach, we conducted different experiments with a testing environment simulating a driving scenario. In this framework an interactive system can access a semantic extension of a Telco plataform, based on the standards of the Sensor Web, to acquire contextual information and publish observations that the user performed to the system.The results showed the feasibility of using the SCXML language for ...
