1. A method for creating a dialog system, the method comprising: providing a framework for creating a multi-modal dialog application configurable to perform pipeline operations on dialog during a runtime mode in a server; including runtime media contained within a Runtime Application Package (RAP) and files of properties associated with the runtime media in the framework, the properties including runtime and non-runtime properties for the runtime media, the RAP supporting the multi-modal dialog application created; enabling customization of the RAP in the server accessible by a client via a computer network by enabling modification of the runtime media and the runtime and non-runtime properties of the runtime media via the computer network; and enabling activation of the RAP customized to specialize support of the multi-modal dialog application created.
