Abstract: A system (30) and method are provided for single-pass execution of dynamic pages across multiple request-response cycles. The system (30) comprises a client (32) and server (34) in communication with one another. A container (35) resides on the server and handles requests made for the result of a dynamic page (36). The container controls the processing of the dynamic page. If the dynamic page requires additional information to continue processing, an intermediate request (44) is transmitted to the client, which responds with an intermediate response (46) containing the additional information. A notifier servlet (38) receives the intermediate response and passes the information to the dynamic page so that execution can resume without interruption.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for spoken language grammar evaluation are provided. The method includes playing a recorded question to a candidate, recording a spoken answer from the candidate, and converting the spoken answer into text. The method further includes comparing the text to a grammar database, calculating a spoken language grammar evaluation score based on the comparison, and outputting the spoken language grammar evaluation score.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method (500), apparatus (100) and computer program product for generating a mixed-initiative dialog to obtain information for dialog slots. A composite grammar dependent upon a set of unfilled slots is constructed (501). A prompt, dependent upon the a set of unfilled slots, is presented (309) to a user. An utterance is received (301) from the user in response to said prompt. Relevant information is determined based upon the further utterance. One or more said unfilled slots are filled (302) with said relevant information.
