5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The exposed model and system takes into account previous works done in the field of dialogue management augmenting them with a more subtle description of dialogues. This allows us to respect our aims which were to obtain a generic dialogue module adaptable to different applications, a model well suited to oral communication and lastly a model capable of handling dialogue failures without any ad-hoc procedures.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The system is currently under development in Quintus Prolog on a Sun Sparc Station. We now have a first integrated small prototype which runs in three languages (English, French and German) and for three different applications: flight reservation, flight enquiries, and train timetable enquiries. This emphasizes the task independent and language independent aspects of the model presented here. At present, we have about 20 dialogue rules, 35 dialogue acts and limited strategy modeling.</Paragraph>
