CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Although we use natural language processing as a communication interface, we have not neglected the strong points of 'formatted-screen based dialogue'.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Indeed, much emphasis was given to the design phase of the ~rg0n0mics (screen content, fields, messages...) and cinematics (dynamic of screens as a function of the users' actions) of the application in order to integrate the better aspects of both dialogue modes into the interface.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> In fact, the experiments we conducted during the specification phase demonstrated that, in such an application, it is not feasible to present to the user a virtually blank screen containing brief suggestions such as &amp;quot;Enter your CV&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Enter a request&amp;quot;. As a result we designed the interface to present to the user fields corresponding to conceptual objets in the knowledge base in which he is allowed to express himself without lexical or syntactic restriction. In this way the user feels guided through the session without being constrained to reply to imposed questions.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> By integrating natural language processing into the application we have implemented a new approach to man-machine dialogue in the field of online job offer services (contrary to the classical arborescent menu-driven interfaces).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4"> The choice of combining the advantages of formattedscreen based dialogue and the constraint-free approach of natural language text input makes a significant advance towards the design of effective user-friendly man-machine interfaces.</Paragraph>
