This contribution1 presents a general framework for building integrated natural-language and multimodal dialog systems. Our approach relies on a distributed component model that enables flexible reuse and extension of existing software modules and is able to deal with a heterogeneous software environment. A practical result of our research is the development of a sophisticated integration platform, called Multiplatform, which is based on the proposed framework. This Multiplatform testbed has been used in various large and mid-size research projects to develop integrated system prototypes.
