Abstract

In this paper we present a novel approach to the combined modeling of multimodal fusion and interaction management. The approach is based on a declarative multimodal event logic that allows the integration of inputs distributed over multiple modalities in accordance to spatial, temporal and semantic constraints. In conjunction with a visual state chart language, our approach supports the incremental parsing and fusion of inputs and a tight coupling with interaction management. The incremental and parallel parsing approach allows us to cope with concurrent continuous and discrete interactions and fusion on different levels of abstraction. The high-level visual and declarative modeling methods support rapid prototyping and iterative development of multimodal systems.
