Text Based Dialog System

Amidst the growing popularity of complex dialog systems it has become quite difficult to grasp the implementation of such systems. The intention of this document is to introduce the designers and researchers new to this field to tools and design techniques which may be used to develop dialog systems. We looked into systems such as OpenEphyra, Trindikit and Ariadne. We then shifted our gaze to MyBus, a text based dialog system which makes use of Olympus architecture and concluded that it would stand very nicely for our cause.
