An Object-Oriented Architecture for Intelligent Virtual Receptionists
提出一种对象导向架构来开发虚拟接待员，通过将网站访客视为独特个体来提升回访率，定义了对象类、交互和数据库模式。
:Because of the rapid proliferation of Web sites, the question of how a Web site can attract repeat visits has become an important problem. One approach is to treat each visitor to the site as a unique individual, much as a human receptionist would treat each client-customer. This paper proposes an object-oriented architecture for developing virtual receptionists for this purpose. All necessary object classes, their interactions, and the database schema are defined, and an example is provided. This object-oriented design proVides a foundation that allows the virtual agent to be easily modified.
