Abstract

The paper presents a formal system for describing dialogues with emotional reasoning. This system has been proposed in order to develop methods of analyzing and searching for dialogue participant’s optimal strategy. The methodology used draws from a tradition of dialogue in games and game theory. Moreover the formal mathematical model is applied towards designing and implementation of a software tool. The aim of this tool is to improve communication skills during parent-child dialogues, and will be an invaluable support for learning how to talk to children. Developed formalism will also constitute the basis for semantic verification dialogue protocols (e.g. model checking).
