Publication of "Discovery and Registration of Multimodal Modality Components"

I am pleased to announce that the Multimodal Interaction Working Group has
published the First Public Working Draft of "Discovery & Registration of
Multimodal Modality Components: State Handling" on June 11, 2015.

 

As people and objects move through smart environments, various capabilities
in the environment will become available for interaction. This means that
many important use cases will require the ability for systems to be able to
dynamically configure themselves with respect to new capabilities (referred
to as "Modality Components") as they become available or unavailable. This
document provides an approach to addressing these use cases.

"This document is addressed to developers who want either to develop
Modality Components for Multimodal
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-mmi-mc-discovery-20150611/#dfn-application>
Applications distributed over a local network or "in the cloud". With this
goal, in a multimodal system implemented according to the
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-mmi-arch-20120112/> Multimodal Architecture
Specification, the system must discover and register its Modality Components
in order to preserve the overall state of the distributed elements. In this
way, Modality Components can be composed with automation mechanisms in order
to adapt the Application to the state of the surrounding environment."
