ECA-based control interface on Android for home automation system

Historically, Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) have been used as virtual assistants that make easier the access to information or help in performing complex tasks. Due to their high computational requirements ECAs are usually run on desktop computers, but with the recent development of hand-held devices both in hardware and software, it becames neccessary to move ECAs to that new mobile scenario. Thus, we propose an open-source based platform for developing ECA based interfaces on Android-equipped devices. We also present a prototype for controlling a home automation system.
