  abstract  = {We  test state of the art dialogue systems  for their behaviour in response to
	user-initiated sub-dialogues, i.e. interactions where a system question is
	responded to with a question or request from the user, who thus initiates a
	sub-dialogue. We look  at sub-dialogues both within a single app (where the
	sub-dialogue concerns another topic in the original domain) and across apps
	(where the sub-dialogue concerns a different domain). The overall conclusion of
	the tests is that none of the systems can be said to deal appropriately with
	user-initiated sub-dialogues.},
