1.4.1 Turn-taking

The user suggests something and the system responds.

Because of the nature of the domain, the mode of interaction seems to be based on the user suggesting something and the system responding to that. The content of each turn is not restricted to some expected input. The system receives the input, whatever that is, and subsequently tries to interpret it and reason about it. However, it is not clear in the documentation how turn-taking is defined.

See TRAINS dialogue example (Section 1.3.3); The user makes suggestions and the system, invariably responds to them, albeit, in a sophisticated way.
