Abstract
Building a generalized platform for having dialogues is a hard problem in the topic of dialogue systems. The problem becomes still more difficult if there is the possibility of having a conversation about more than one domain at the same time. To help solving this problem, we have built a component that deals with everything related to the domains. In this paper, we describe this component, named Service Manager, and explain what and how it passes all the information that a dialogue manager needs to conduct a dialogue.
