چکیده
We propose an extension of the FML-APML specification to match our needs for specifying the communicative strategies of an engaging interactive toy. This intelligent toy uses various strategies defined in previous work to try to engage the child in a long-term relationship. We have identified several useful tags that are not yet incorporated in FML, in particular, tags to represent actions, emotions of other agents, and mental attitudes. This paper motivates such tags and describes a specification of our toy’s communicative strategies
