Abstract
In this paper we take a second look at current research issues for conversational dialogue systems addressed in [17]. We look at two systems, a movie information and a stock information system which were built based on the experiences with the train information system EVAR, described in [17].
This research was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology (BMBF) in the framework of the Verbmobil Project under Grant 01 IV 701 K5. The responsibility for the contents of this article lies with the authors.
