Summary: This paper describes a system for embodied conversational agents (ECAs)
developed at the University of Texas at El Paso by the Advanced aGent
ENgagement Team (AGENT) and one of the applications -- Survival on Jungle
Island -- built with this system. In the Jungle application, the ECA and a
human interact with speech and gesture for approximately 40 -- 60 minutes in a
game composed of 23 scenes (to maintain the demonstration feasible,
participants will interact only with select scenes that showcase the
capabilities of our system). Each scene comprises a collection of speech input,
speech output, gesture input, gesture output, scenery, triggers, and decision
points.

Summary: In this paper I describe my research goals and hypotheses regarding
human-computer relationships with embodied conversational agents (ECAs). I
include important studies of related research that inform and direct my own
efforts. I explain the current state and some technical aspects of the ECAs I
have contributed to create, and past experiments regarding human-ECA
familiarity, ECA design and analysis, and multiparty ECA interaction, including
our semi-automated corpora collection techniques, analysis methodology, and
their respective results to date. Finally, I conclude with an overall
presentation of all current studies I have worked on, and future possibilities
for my final dissertation and post-dissertation research related to virtual
human-ECA rapport.
