instantiating an actuation module having a back-end interface arranged to communicate with a first back-end application; and
instantiating a natural language interpreter having an input for receiving token sequences generated from user input, and
an output for outputting interpretation result commands in an application-independent form toward said actuation module in
response to said token sequences;
said actuation module receiving a first one of said interpretation result commands, translating said first interpretation
result command into a set of at least one application-specific application command for said first back-end application, and
forwarding said at least one application command toward said first back-end application, and
said actuation module receiving a command result from said first back-end application, translating said command result into
a common interaction format, and forwarding said command result toward said user.
