Abstract
We present DiaWOz-II, a configurable software environment for Wizard-of-Oz studies in mathematics and engineering. Its interface is based on a structural wysiwyg editor which allows the input of complex mathematical formulae. This allows the collection of dialog corpora consisting of natural language interleaved with non-trivial mathematical expressions, which is not offered by other Wizard-of-Oz tools in the field. We illustrate the application of DiaWOz-II in an empirical study on tutorial dialogs about mathematical proofs, summarize our experience with DiaWOz-II and briefly present some preliminary observations on the collected dialogs.
