Abstract

This paper describes the design of an ontology-based speech interface for personal assistants applied in the context of cooperative projects. We believe that this type of interface could improve the quality of assistance that personal assistants may offer. We present such an interface and apply it in a multi-agent system in the context of research and development projects. We describe the design of the interface, highlighting the role of ontologies for semantic interpretation. As a result of this conversational speech interface, we expect an increase in the quality of assistance and a reduction of the time needed to answer user´s requests.
