Abstract:
Currently available mobile devices lack the flexibility and simplicity their users require of them. To start with, most of them rigidly offer impoverished, traditional interactive mechanisms which are not handy for mobile users. Those which are multimodal lack the grace to adapt to the current task and context of their users. Some of the reasons for such inflexibility are the cost, duration and complexity of developing adaptive multimodal interactive systems. This paper motivates and introduces a modelling and development platform – the EMODE platform – which enables the rapid development and deployment of adaptive and multimodal mobile interactive systems.
