Architecture Framework For Output Multimodal Systems Design
Cyril Rousseau, Yacine Bellik, Frédéric D. Vernier, Didier Bazalgette · 2004
An output multimodal system aims at presenting information in an “intelligent” way by exploiting different communication modalities. According to the desired multimodal system, this notion of “intelligence” may vary. However all existing systems share the same goal: the information presentation must be the most suitable to the interaction context. In this study we present a software architecture model for dynamic and contextual HumanComputer Interaction systems. Our proposed architecture framework is more precisely suited to the output side of multimodal systems and introduce certain mechanisms, which are not available with classical GUI architectures, to tailor the information expression to the interaction context. Two Applications of this architecture framework (mobile telephony and military avionics) are also described.
