Abstract:

This volume presents important results of the Collaborative Research Center(Sonderforschungsbereich) "Situated Artificial Communicators," which wasfunded by grants from the German Research Foundation (DeutscheForschungsgemeinschaft) for more than twelve years.

The contributions focus on different aspects of human-human andhuman-machine interaction in situations which closely model everydayworkplace demands. The authors are linguists, psycho- und neurolinguists,psychologists and computer scientists at Bielefeld University. They jointlytackle questions of information processing in task-oriented communication.The role of key notions such as context, integration (of multimodalinformation), reference, coherence, and robustness is explored in great depth.

Some remarkable findings and recurrent phenomena reveal that communicationis, to a large extent, a matter of joint activity. The interdisciplinaryapproach integrates theory, description and experimentation with simulationand evaluation.
