Dominique Guinard presents this paper.(You might wonder how I manage to both present it
and blog about it, well this is thanks to Ghislain Fourny who wrote a summary of my …

The grand challenge of multimodal interface creation is to build reliable processing systems
able to analyze and understand multiple communication means in real-time. This opens a …

The design of real-life complex systems calls for advanced software engineering models,
methods, and tools in order to meet critical requirements such as reliability, dependability …

Fusion engines are fundamental components of multimodal inter-active systems, to interpret
input streams whose meaning can vary according to the context, task, user and time. Other …

DIY-making can be an expensive pastime if makers are relying on ready-made toolkits,
specialised materials and off-shelf components. Many prefabricated commercial kits seek to …

Current input handling systems provide effective techniques for modeling, tracking,
interpreting, and acting on user input. However, new interaction technologies violate the …

This article introduces HephaisTK, a toolkit for rapid prototy** of multimodal interfaces.
After briefly discussing the state of the art, the architecture traits of the toolkit are displayed …

In the last years, User Interface Description Languages (UIDLs) appeared as a suitable
solution for develo** interactive systems. In order to implement reliable and efficient …

This article proposes an evaluation framework to benchmark the performance of multimodal
fusion engines. The paper first introduces different concepts and techniques associated with …

The use of multiple modes of user input to interact with computers and devices is an active
area of human computer interaction research. With the advent of more powerful perceptual …
