We present an effective generic communicating rational agent, ARTIMIS, and its application to cooperative spoken dialogue. ARtIMIS' kernel is the implementation of a formal theory of interaction. This theory involves a set of generic axioms which models, in a homogeneous logical framework, principles of rational behaviour, communication, and cooperation. The theory is interpreted by a specifically designed reasoning engine. When applied to the context of natural dialogue, ARTIMIS includes specialised components for speech and natural language processing.
