rudibugger is the GUI of VOnDA (Versatile Ontology-based Dialogue Architecture), a framework to implement the dialogue management functionality in dialogue systems.

Its purpose is to help navigating, compiling and editing source code that is used by a VOnDA-based dialogue system. Furthermore, it offers debugging functionality by allowing the user to track what is happening in a running system.

A video demonstrating rudibugger can be found here.

Documentation

Installation instructions, how to run rudibugger and information about its features can be found in the (not yet complete) documentation.

A short quick guide on how to start rudibugger is written below.

How to run rudibugger (quick guide)

Start rudibugger

In the root folder of rudibugger, two scripts are included:

• runRudibugger.sh runs rudibugger and prints its own logging statements on the running shell. (e.g. rudibugger has been started.).
• run.sh does not print these statements.

Connect to VOnDA

Given a VOnDA-based project on the same machine, one must only open the project in rudibugger by selecting the project's configuration file. If the system is running, one can connect to VOnDA by clicking the connect button in the upper left.

Origin

rudibugger was originally written in the context of a Bachelor's Thesis by Christophe Biwer ([email protected]) under the supervision of Dipl.-Inf. Bernd Kiefer and Prof. Dr. Josef van Genabith.
