Context-aware office assistant

This paper describes the design and implementation of the Office Assistant – an agent that interacts with visitors at the office door and manages the office owner’s schedule. We claim that rich context information about users is key to making a flexible and believable interaction. We also argue that natural face-to-face conversation is an appropriate metaphor for human-computer interaction. Keywords Human-computer Interaction, User Interface, Agent, Office Automation
