Summary of January face-to-face meeting

The W3C Voice Browser Working Group met in Boston Massachusetts, USA on 
January 22-24, 2007, hosted by the W3C as part of the Multi-Group 
Meeting. A joint session was held on January 24 with the W3C MMI Working 
Group.

Monday, January 22 was devoted entirely to design of VoiceXML 3.0. We 
are concentrating on describing the semantics of each module as 
precisely as possible using SCXML [1]. We discussed the semantics of 
prompt queue resources, recognition resources snd form and field 
resource controllers, as well as the interaction between them. We also 
worked on improving the eventing model and started to clarify how the 
syntactic layer (markup and DOM) interacts with the semantics 
layer(resources and resource controllers).

Tuesday, January 23 we discussed how speaker identification and 
verification can be added to VoiceXML 3.0, issues related to the SSML 
1.1 document, and how to handle eratta to our completed 
recommendations.  We decided to seek additional advice from other W3C 
experts on dealing with problems related to updating our specifications 
to support IRI and XML 1.1

On Wednesday during our joint meeting with the Multimodal Interaction 
Working Group we discussed the W3C Backplane [2], and how it relates to 
applications that include voice. We also discussed recent developments 
in the State Chart XML (SCXML) specification.

The next face to face meeting will be held June 20-22 in Roncade 
(Treviso) Italy, hosted by H-Care.
