In the past, voice-based applications have been accessed using unintelligent telephone devices through Voice Browsers that reside on the server. The proliferation of pervasive devices and the increase in their processing capabilities, clientside speech processing has been emerging as a viable alternative. In SiMPE 2008, the third in the series, we will continue to explore the various possibilities and issues that arise while enabling speech processing on resource-constrained, possibly mobile devices. In SiMPE 2007 [2], the focus was on developing regions. Given the importance of speech in developing regions, SiMPE 2008 will include "SiMPE for developing regions" as a topic of interest. As a result of discussions in SiMPE 2007, we plan to invite and encourage Speech UI designers to participate in SiMPE 2008. We will also review the progress made over the last two years, in the areas and key problems identified in SiMPE 2006 [3].
