This book derives from a workshop entitled 'Natural Dialogue and
Interactive Stu dent Modeling', held October 17-20, 1992 in the
Villa Cipressi in Varenna (Italy). The theme of the workshop
focused on how approaches to natural dialogue and conversation
contributed to the development ofa sophisticated dialogue component
in intelligent tutoring systems. Researchers from the fields of
educational technol ogy, dialogue research and user interface
design were all invited to the workshop in order to ensure a broad
knowledge base for the discussion of the main topic of the
workshop. The workshop included a variety of presentations, most of
which are presented in this book, as well as active discussions of
a number of issues related to the main topic, such as: the
intrinsic value of a dialogue component in an intelligent tutoring
system verbal expressions (e.g., natural language) as a successful
modality in a learning setting the application of results from
other types of dialogue, such as information or task dialogues, in
models of instructional dialogue the role of a teacher as an
intermediary who provides motivation and support in learning as
opposed to the role of a teacher as someone who just presents
information. In the introductory chapter we have tried to combine
these issues and link them to the papers that are presented in this
volume."
The chapters in this book are revised, updated, and edited versions
of 13 selected papers from the Second International Conference on
Cooperative Multimodal Communication (CMC'98), held in Tilburg, The
Netherlands, in 1998.This wasthesecondconferencein a

other ten were among the submitted papers that were accepted by the
CMC'98 program committee. The editors contributed an introductory
chapter to set the stage for the rest of the book. We thank the
programcommittee for their excellent and timely feedback to the
authors of the submitted papers, and at a later stage for advising
on the contents of this volume and for providing additional
suggestions for improving

This book constitutes the strictly reviewed post-workshop
documentation of the First International Conference on Cooperative
Multimodal Communication held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in
1995.
The volume presents an introductory survey and carefully re vised
and updated full versions of three invited contributions and 14
papers selected for inclusion in the book after intensive
reviewing. Among the issues addressed are intelligent multimedia
retrieval, cooperative conversation, agent system communication,
multimodal maps, multimodal plan presentation, multimodal user
interfaces, multimodal dialog, and various systems for multimodal
HCI.
This volume in the NATO Special Programme on Advanced Educational
Technology addresses fundamental principles in the design of a
dialogue component in intelligent tutoring systems. The purpose of
the book is to link fundamental issues of communication and
interaction to the more restricted domain of instructional
dialogue. The papers are grouped into parts on: theoretical issues
in instructional dialogue; theory into practice - interaction in
learning environments; natural dialogue and interaction theory; and
feedback and control in human-machine communication. The book
originates from a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Italy in
1992 and the authors are leading researchers in educational
technology, dialogue research and user-interface design.
