6 Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have described some aspects of the design of the DM module within the VODIS project, with special attention to the methods the DM can employ to compensate for the limitations of speech recognition. Where possible, we have related our propos-Ms to guidelines found in the literature, summarized in our 7 commandments for spoken dialogue. Of course, the ultimate objective is the development of a &amp;quot;good&amp;quot; dialogue manager module as part of the VODIS project, and we believe that designing a dialogue manager which obeys the 7 commandments as far as possible is an indispensable step towards that objective. The implementation, briefly described in section 4, will be part of the first VODIS prototype, which will be evaluated by users. The results of these nition (user: Ich m~chte nach Himmelpforten fahren) on such a list will cause problems, for which alternative strategies have to be chosen.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> experiments will be the input for the development of the second prototype.</Paragraph>
