    <Paragraph position="0">  Wedemonstrateadevelopmentenvironmentfor&amp;quot;Information State Update&amp;quot; dialogue systems which allows non-expert developers to produce complete spoken dialoguesystemsbasedonlyonBusinessProcessModels null (BPM) describing their applications. The environment includes automatic generation of Grammatical Framework (GF) grammars for robust interpretation of spontaneous speech, and uses the application databases to generate lexical entries and grammar rules. The GF grammar is compiled to an ATK language model for speech recognition (Nuance is also supported). The demonstration system allows users to create and modify spoken dialogue systems, starting with a definition of a Business Process Model (e.g. banking, cinema booking, shopping, restaurant information) and ending with a working system. This paper describes the environment, its main components, and some of the research issues involved in its development.</Paragraph>
