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.
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.
In a terminal, simply run
mvn clean package
In the root folder of rudibugger, two scripts are included:
runRudibugger.shruns rudibugger and prints its own logging statements on the running shell. (e.g.rudibugger has been started.).run.shdoes not print these statements, and still works if the current wording directory is not the rudibugger directory
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.
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.
