$1\mathrm{.}1.$ Task $1$: Chatbot for booking a hotel room

A hotel has asked you to set up a chatbot that can be used to book a hotel room. To make this project feasible, we

limit ourselves to what is available within the given course and$/$or timeframe. The requested information $($e$.$g$.,$

name, time period, number of guests$)$ can be very limited$.$ It is up to you to choose which technologies $($frame$-$

works, programming languages, etc.$)$ you use for the components and the communication between the compo$-$

nents. With the chatbot, users should be able to request and provide simple information. It is sufficient if the chat$-$

bot is limited to $10$ questions and $10$ answers.

It is mandatory to ask questions on the following: name, time period, number of guests. Optionally, you can

insert queries and information about the payment method, with$/$without breakfast. The hotel name can be fic$-$

tional.

Task: Implementation of a chatbot

Implement a chatbot in the following $3$ phases:

$1\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}1.$ Conception phase

This phase represents the most important part of the design process. Anything that is overlooked or forgotten in

this phase has a negative effect on the implementation later and will lead, in the worst case, to useless results.

The first step is to create a written concept, to describe everything that belongs to the chatbot. At least $1$ dia$-$

gram $($e$.$g$.,$ in UML$)$ will be created and inserted to the written concept to show the interaction of the components

and the process. This step is perhaps the most important of the entire design process. It is crucial to take$/$plan

enough time for this phase BEFORE the next steps can be taken. It is therefore essential to follow the sequence

of the respective steps carefully.

It is important not only to consider what the client probably expects from a chatbot, but also what should be

offered to the users of the chatbot. The written concept must explain what the aims of the chatbot are, to whom

it is directed and why the structure and process have been designed in the particular manner.

Think about which framework and which tools you can use to implement each component and the communica$-$

tion between the components. Then name the planned frameworks and tools and explain your decisions.

A conceptual text $(1$ DIN A$4$ page$)$ has to be prepared for the submission, explaining these analyses and consid$-$

erations, together with the diagram showing the interaction of the components and the process. The conceptual

text is uploaded in the PebblePad template, the text field in the template remains empty.
