Descripción: One way to reduce the complexity of the speech recognition is to use syntactic, semantic and pragmatic information to predict the next input of the user. In spoken dialogue systems pragmatic information can include knowledge about the dialogue domain, dialogue context and dialogue focus. This thesis describes a dialogue manager for a spoken database retrieval system. The main design objectives were to create a tool that would facilitate the design of human-computer dialogues and to provide a language model to the speech recognizer containing the predictions of the next utterance. The dialogue model is data driven and the dialogue manager is integrated into a generic dialogue system. The role of the dialogue manager is to control the interaction between the user and the computer. When the user queries the database, the dialogue manager analyzes the input and if necessary, obtains the information still needed to formulate a valid query to the database.
