This formalism (see fig. A ) organizes the interaction of several independent processing components, in our case 5. The processing components need not be ATNs; it is up to the user of the formalism to choose the tool for the specific task that suits her/hlm best. 2) The dialogues that we are working with were recorded in the City of Frankfurt/ Main (Klein 79). is an elliptical question (voice rising, when uttered) and on the semantic stage it can be categorized as a GOAL case slot, depending on \"zur\" and the fact that the NP refers to a building. Since it is at the beginning of a task-oriented dialogue with no task fixed until now, it is categorized as a de~i.af~o~i{,'c~lo..",
