Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Introduction 3  There are various complex distributed systems:  In the nature  in the human society  in the industry  A complex distributed system: a set of agents (man, machine, or other), heterogeneous, interacting, indulge in a contextual environment.

Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Problem statement and mains Specify a model of dialogue that can take into account the communication between agents characteristics that are similarly present in the human societies such as:  Heterogeneousness  Specificity  Autonomy

Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Problem statement and mains Objective Provide a dialogue model that ensures structural and cognitive coherence

Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Previous work 2 2 The communication 1 1 Communication is a process of transferring information between two or more entities Communication refers to all the processes by which an issuer is linked to one or more receivers

Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Previous work  The difference between a dialogue and a simple communication or interconnection The search for a cross-comprehension The dialogue is a way of assessing the exchange synchronous asynchronous

Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Previous work The disciplines  Many disciplines have been interested in human dialogue: DisciplinesDescription Cognitive Sciencestudies the aspect of perception, planning, goals and intentions. Ethnomethodologyreasoning ability, standardized framework specified by social rules and conventions Linguisticsstudies the structure of language in the dialogues. Philosophy of languageadmits that all utterances are an act of languages. Artificial intelligenceaims at integrating the machine into a world of “human communication”. Game theoryis a tool for analyzing human behaviour. Distributed artificial intelligenceis a paradigm for modeling complex systems.

Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Previous work The approaches  Four main approaches ApproachesDescriptions The intentional approach Based on the representation of intentions and reasoning about intentions underlying participant utterances The conventional approach Focuses on what is shared by participants during the dialogue. The social approach Captures the public level of dialogue using the notion of social commitment The mixed approach Aims at combining intentional and conventional approaches.

Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Rules and tools of construction assumption Tree representation The trees are mainly used for:  analysis of data,  classification of data…  In this talk we will use this type of representation for the purpose of providing a global view of the dialogue specification model.

Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Our contribution  Why to model?  To be as closer as possible to the reality,  To facilitate the implementation and the validation,  To view the dialogue structure,  To specify the components of the dialogue,  To give the hierarchical structure,  To justify different structural and functional links.

Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Our contribution  The tree representation of our model

Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Conclusions and perspectives Conclusion  The human dialogue.  Multi-disciplinary domain.  Adapt several theories appearing in dialogue approaches.  Specify a model of dialogue between intelligent instruments.  Introduce to a new concept of automation based on dialogue

Soutenance de thèse: Okba Taouali 02/08/ Conclusions and perspectives Perspectives  automation of the final model.  integration of the model as a basic concept tool for the automation of instrument-based distributed applications.
