# ARTIMIS: Natural Dialogue Meets Rational Agency

## Abstract

We present an effective generic communicating rational agent, ARTIMIS, and its application to cooperative spoken dialogue. ARTIMIS' kernel is the implementation of a formal theory of interaction. This theory involves a set of generic axioms which models , in a homogeneous logical framework, principles ofrational behaviour, communication, and cooperation. The theory is interpreted by a specifically designed reasoning engine. Wh en applied to the context of natural dialogue, ARTIMIS includes specialised components for speech and natural language processmg.
