This system designed for intuitive multimodal interaction comprises a symmetric set of input and output modalities (Wahlster, 2003) , together with an efficient fusion and fission pipeline (Wahlster, 2002) . SMARTKOM features speech input with prosodic analysis, gesture input via infrared camera, recognition of facial expressions and their emotional states. On the output side SMARTKOM employs a gesturing and speaking life-like character together with displayed generated text and multimedia graphical output. It currently comprised nearly 50 modules running on a parallel virtual machine-based integration software called MULTIPLAT-FORM (Herzog et al., 2003) . As such it is certainly among the most advanced multi-domain conversational dialogue systems.",

We claim that, given the state of the art of the dialogue management of today's conversational dialogue systems, evaluation trials with naive users will continue to uncover severe usability problems resulting in low task completion rates. 1 Surprisingly, this occurs despite acceptable partial evaluation results. By partial results, we understand evaluations of individual components such as concerning the word-error rate of automatic speech recognition or understanding rates as conducted by Cox et al. (2000) or reported in Diaz-Verdejo et al. (2000) . As one of the reasons for the problems thwarting task completion, Beringer (2003) points at the problem of turn overtaking, which occurs when users rephrase questions or make a second remark to the system, while it is still processing the first one. After such occurrences a dialogue becomes asynchronous, meaning that the system responds to the second last user utterance while in the user's mind that response concerns the last. Given the current state of the art regarding the dialogue handling capabilities of HCI systems, this inevitably causes dialogues to fail completely.",

The overall goal of analyzing these effects is, that future systems become usable by exhibiting a more felicitous communicative behavior.

This procedure also represents a simplification of classical end-to-end experiments, as it is -much like WoZ experiments -conductible without the technically very complex use of a real conversational system. As post-experimental interviews showed, this did not limit the feeling of authenticity regarding the simulated conversational system by the human subjects ( ). The WOT setup consists of two major phases that begin after subjects have been given a set of tasks to be solved with the telephone-based dialogue system: in Phase 1 the human assistant (\u00a1 ) is acting as a wizard who is simulating the dialogue system, much like in WoZ experiments, by operating a speech synthesis interface, in Phase 2, which starts immediately after a system breakdown has been simulated by means of beeping noises transmitted via the telephone, the human assistant is acting as a human operator asking the subject to continue with the tasks.",

With the help of an audio mixer all linguistic data were recorded time synchronously and stored in one audio file.

In order to avoid the usual paraphrases of tasks worded too specifically, the manager gave the subjects an overall list of 20 very general touristic activities, such as visit museum or eat out, from which each subject had to pick six tasks which had to be solved in the experiment. The manager then removed the original list, dialed the system's number on the phone and exited from the room after handing over the telephone receiver. The subject was always greeted by the system's standard opening ply: Welcome to the Heidelberger tourist information system. How I can help you?

The German results are shown in Figure 4 and, as shown in Figure 5 we find the same patterns hold cross-linguistically in the English experiments. The overall comparison, given in Table 2 , shows that -as one would expect -latency times severely decrease dialogue efficiency, but that they alone do not account for the difference in efficiency between human-human and human-computer interaction. This means that even if latency times were to vanish completely, yielding actual real-time performance, we would still observe less efficient dialogues in HCI.",

"text": "While it is obvious that the existing latency times increase the number and length of pauses of the computer interactions as compared to the human operator's interactions, there are no such obvious reasons why the number and length of pauses in the human subjects' interactions should differ in Phase 1 and Phase 2. However, as shown in Table 3 , they do differ substantially. Next to this pause-effect, which contributes greatly to dialogue efficiency metrics by increasing dialogue length, we have to take a closer look at the individual turns and their nature. While some turns carry propositional information and constitute utterances proper, a significant number solely consists of specific particles used to exchange signals between the communicative partners or combinations thereof. We differentiate between dialogue-structuring signals and feedback signals in the sense of Yngve (1970) . Dialogue-structuring signalssuch as hesitations like hmm or ah as well as expressions like well, yes, so -mark the intent to begin or end an utterances, make corrections or insertions. Feedback signalswhile sometimes phonetically alike -such as right, yes or hmm -do not express the intent to take over or give up the speaking role, but rather serve as a means to stay in contact with the speaker, which is why they are sometimes referred to as contact signals.

Half of the data were annotated by separate annotators, yielding an inter-annotator agreement of 90.61 . The resulting counts for the user utterances in phase one and two are shown in Table 4 .

"text": "Again, the findings for both German and English are comparable. We find that feedback particles almost vanish from the human-computer dialogues -a finding that corresponds to those described in Section 2. This linguistic behavior, in turn, constitutes an adaptation to the employment of such particles by that of the respective interlocutor. Striking, however, is that the human subjects still attempted to send dialogue structuring signals to the computer, which -unfortunately -would have been ig-nored by today's \"conversational\" dialogue systems. Before turning towards an analysis of this data we will examine the overlaps that occurred throughout the dialogues. Most overlaps in human-human conversation occur during turn changes with the remainder being feedback signals that are uttered during the other interlocutor's turn (Jefferson, 1983) . The results on measuring the amount of overlap in our experiments are given in Table 5. Overall the HHI dialogues featured significantly more overlap than the HCI ones, which is partly due to the respective presence and absence of feedback signals as well as due to the fact that in HCI turn takes are accompanied by pauses rather than immediate -overlappinghand overs. Lastly, our experiments yielded negative findings concerning differences in the type-token ratio (denoting the lexical variation of forms), speech production errors (false starts, repetitions etc.) and syntax. This means that there was no statistically significant difference in the linguistic behavior with respect to these factors. We regard this finding to strengthen our conclusions (see Section 6), that to emulate human syntactic and semantic behavior does not suffice to guarantee effective and therefore felicitous human computer interaction.",

"text": "The results presented above enable a closer look at dialogue efficiency as one of the key factors influencing overall dialogue felicity. As our experiments show, the difference between the human-human efficiency and that of the human-computer dialogues is not solely due to the computer's response times. There is a significant amount of white noise, for example, as users wait after the computer has finished responding. We see these behaviors as a result of a mismanaged dialogue. In many cases users are simple unsure whether the system's turn has ended or not and consequently wait much longer than necessary. The situation is equally bad at the other end of the turn taking spectrum, i. e., after a user has handed over the turn to the computer, there is no signal or acknowledgment that the computer has taken on the baton and is running along with it -regardless of whether the user's utterance is understood or not. Insecurities regarding the main question, i. e., whose turn is it anyways, become very notable when users try to establish contact, e. g., by saying hello -pause-hello. This kind of behavior certainly does not happen in HHI, even when we find long silences.",

Such communicative behavior, then has to be implemented in dialogue systems, to make their way of communicating more like that of their human partners.
