Abstract

Many specialized toolkits have been developed with the purpose of facilitating the creation of multimodal systems. They allow their users to specify certain tasks of their intended systems by means of a visual language instead of programming code. One of these toolkits, CoGenIVE, was developed in our research lab, and despite of its successful application in many internal projects, it gradually fell into disuse. The rethinking of CoGenIVE unveiled the existence of important gaps hindering a fuller understanding of these toolkits for rapid prototyping of multimodal systems. This paper aims to remedy some of these gaps with the proposal of: (a)~the architecture of a toolkit for rapid prototyping of multimodal systems, (b)~a scale for measuring the support for implementation provided by a toolkit, and (c)~a classification of a representative set of existing toolkits.
