Abstract/Summary

This paper presents a queue-based agent architecture for multimodal interfaces. Using a novel approach to intelligently organise both agents and input data, this system has the potential to outperform current state-of-the-art multimodal systems, while at the same time allowing greater levels of interaction and flexibility. This assertion is supported by simulation test results showing that significant improvements can be obtained over normal sequential agent scheduling architectures. For real usage, this translates into faster, more comprehensive systems, without the limited application domain that restricts current implementations.
