5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> DFKI's dialogue toolbox was used in a number of fully functional, differently sized systems with a variety of interaction paradigms. Vital to its success in terms of reusability and scalability was the choice of a modular design and ends-based representations throughout the complete backbone. Starting from basic functionalities, it is possible to extend the system coverage while incorporating new features. Future work includes reusing (parts of) the backbone in EU and nationally funded large projects like AMI, TALK, Inscape, VirtualHuman and SmartWeb.</Paragraph>
