[Olympus developers 69]: New times for Olympus code walkthroughs: Mon 8, 11am-1pm and Wed, 10, 11am-1pm, NSH 1305

[Antoine Raux]

Hi everyone,

There are some issues with scheduling a walkthrough tomorrow. So, since 
the 15th is not good for some and I do have to work on my defense as 
well (yes I do), we'll make the other two seminars longer. Also note 
that we changed the room to NSH1305. Here is the new schedule:

- Monday 8th @ 11am-1pm: Overview + the Interaction Manager
- Wednesday 10th @ 12pm-2pm: RavenClaw + Log Tools

NB: This is NOT intended to be an introduction to Olympus. While the 
first seminar contains an overview, I will assume that participants are 
familiar to some extent with the Galaxy Olympus architecture

See you there :)

Outline for the first session:

- Where to find documentation: a brief guide to the Olympus Wiki
- Overview of Galaxy servers: basic structure, what you need to make 
your own server (NB: this will be very short and by no means a 
comprehensive guide to Galaxy. Just a quick overview to introduce the 
next part). The idea here is to provide enough information to 1) 
understand the overall flow of information in a typical Olympus system, 
2) replace one of the servers by your own (e.g. your own parser).
    - Input and output of the main Olympus Galaxy services/service 
providers:
    - Audio Server (including ASR)
    - Parser
    - Confidence Annotator
    - Interaction Manager
    - Dialog Manager
    - Natural Language Generator
    - Speech Synthesizer
- The Apollo Interaction Manager : events, actions, agents and core 
execution loop
