The Project

The project work plan was broken down in nine work packages which represent and integrate common topics:

• WP1 - User requirements and system validation

• WP2 - Simulated-real corpora and tasks

• WP3 - Multi-microphone front-end

• WP4 - Distant-speech and speaker recognition

• WP5 - Dialogue management

• WP6 - System integration

• WP7 - Dissemination

• WP8 - Exploitation

• WP9 - Management and coordination

The work packages were organized as depicted in the following PERT diagram. A cyclic approach was adopted in order to allow feedback between technological work packages.

This is a block diagram that inspired the DIRHA prototype development:
