[arch] MMI Architecture Implementation Report

This report describes the implementation included in the SOA2M project of
the MM Group- TSI Department (Institut Telecom-Telecom ParisTech).
This research covers abstract multimodal user interfaces in Service Oriented
Architectures for pervasive environemment, an particularly in Smart
Conference Rooms. Our prototype is an implementation of  a multimodal
ambient system providing personalized assistance services to different
profiles of users. With this prototype we are looking to test the
intelligent automatic fusion and fission of modalities.
We are interested on using semantics with the W3C Multimodal Architecture
specification. The group has implemented a Flex/AIR Interaction Manager with
an SCXML engine, available to Modality Components as a semantically
annotated service (published as web or Bonjour service), and web-based RIA
modality components at different levels: the basic ones (Pointer, Selector
and Graphics IN/OUT) and the more complex (a voice synthesizer and a
Carousel).
