Preface

Spoken dialogue systems have become an increasingly important interface between humans and computers as they constitute the most natural way of communication. This book covers all key topics in spoken language dialogue interaction from a variety of leading researchers. It brings together several perspectives in the areas of spoken dialogue analysis (Chapters 1-3), processing emotions in dialogue (Chapters 4-5), multimodality (Chapters 6-9) as well as resources and evaluation (Chapters 10-11). The book is based on a selected subset of papers from the International Workshop on Spoken Dialogue Systems Technology (IWSDS) held at Kloster Irsee, Germany in 2009. There, the latest formal, corpus-based, implementational and analytical work on spoken dialogue systems technology have been discussed among researchers and developers in the area, from both industry and academia. The IWSDS workshop series (former Tutorial and Research Workshop Series at Kloster Irsee) provides since 1999 a regular forum for the presentation of research in the discourse and dialogue area to both the larger Spoken Dialogue Systems community as well as to researc
