In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2008 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems April 5-10, 2008. pp. 3501-3506. Available online

“The area of multimodal interaction has expanded rapidly. However, the implementation of multimodal systems still remains a difficult task. Addressing this problem, we describe the OpenInterface (OI) framework, a component-based tool for rapidly developing multimodal input interfaces. The OI underlying conceptual component model includes both generic and tailored components. In addition, to enable the rapid exploration of the multimodal design space for a given system, we need to capitalize on past experiences and include a large set of multimodal interaction techniques, their specifications and documentations. In this work-in-progress report, we present the current state of the OI framework and the two exploratory test-beds developed using the OpenInterface Interaction Development Environment.”

“The development of natural multimodal dialogue systems remains a very difficult task. The flexibility and naturalness they offer result in an increased complexity that current software tools do not address appropriately. One challenging issue we address here is the generation of cooperative responses in an appropriate multimodal form, highlighting the intertwined relation of content and presentation. We identify a key component, the dialogic strategy component, as a mediator between the natural dialogue management and the multimodal presentation. This component selects the semantic information content to be presented according to various presentation constraints. Constraints include inherent characteristics of modalities, the availability of a modality as well as preferences of the user. Thus the cooperative behaviour of the system could be adapted as could its multimodal behaviour. In this paper, we present the dialogic strategy component and an associated platform to quickly develop output multimodal cooperative responses in order to explore different dialogic strategies.”

In: Proceedings of 8th conference on Human-computer interaction with mobile devices and services 2006. pp. 129-136. Available online

“The development and the evaluation of multimodal interactive systems on mobile phones remains a difficult task. In this paper we address this problem by describing a component-based approach, called ACICARE, for developing and evaluating multimodal interfaces on mobile phones. ACICARE is dedicated to the overall iterative design process of mobile multimodal interfaces, which consists of cycles of designing, prototyping and evaluation. ACICARE is based on two complementary tools that are combined: ICARE and ACIDU. ICARE is a component-based platform for rapidly developing multimodal interfaces. We adapted the ICARE components to run on mobile phones and we connected them to ACIDU, a probe that gathers customer's usage on mobile phones. By reusing and assembling components, ACICARE enables the rapid development of multimodal interfaces as well as the automatic capture of multimodal usage for in-field evaluations. We illustrate ACICARE using our contact manager system, a multimodal system running on the SPV c500 mobile phone.”

“Mixed Reality seeks to smoothly link the physical and data processing (digital) environments. In recent years, mixed reality has been the subject of growing interest. Although mixed reality systems are becoming more prevalent, we still do not have a clear understanding of this interaction paradigm. This article introduces a new interaction model called Mixed Interaction model. It adopts a unifying point of view on mixed reality by considering the interaction modalities that are involved for defining mixed environments. This article presents the model after explaining its foundations, applies it to describe and compare existing systems and shows its generative power for designing new forms of mixed interaction.”

“In the physical world, most human activities involve the use of two hands. As part of ubiquitous computing that aims at combining the physical and the digital worlds, understanding how to design two-handed interaction is therefore important. This article presents a new design space for two-handed interaction, called 2M. The 2M design space takes its foundations in two complementary research domains: multimodal interaction and two-handed interaction. On the one hand we enrich the multimodal design space to take into account the roles of the two hands. On the other hand, we extend the two-handed interaction design space to cover the temporal as well as fusion aspects of multimodal interaction. This article presents the resulting 2M design space and demonstrates its descriptive power. We finally study the generative capacity of 2M for designing new forms of two-handed interaction in the context of the NavGraphe project that focuses on the interactive manipulation of very large biological structures (e.g., RNA structures).”

La multiplication des ordinateurs de poche et des assistants personnels, la généralisation de l'utilisation des cartes ŕ puces et la multiplication des systčmes embarqués dans des objets d'usage courant (automobile, télévision, etc.) sont des témoins de cet essor. L'explosion de la téléphonie mobile constitue un autre exemple significatif de la formidable extension de ce domaine.”

“Mobile and ubiquitous systems support multiple interaction techniques such as the synergistic use of active modalities (speech, gesture, etc.) and passive modalities (gaze, localization of a user, etc.). The flexibility they offer results in an increased complexity that current software development tools do not address appropriately. In this paper we describe a component-based approach, called ICARE, for specifying and developing interfaces combining active and passive modalities. Our approach relies on two types of components: (1) elementary components that describe pure modalities (active and passive) and (2) composition components (Complémentarité, Redundancy and Equivalence) that enable the designer to specify combined usage of modalities. The designer graphically assembles the ICARE components and the code of the multimodal user interface is automatically generated. Although the ICARE platform is not fully developed, we illustrate the applicability of the approach with the implementation of three mobiles systems: two GeoNote systems and one prototype of cockpit commands of Rafale (French military plane).”

“Real needs of mobile users working in groups can be addressed by Mobile Collaborative Mixed Systems. But the design of such systems is a complex task due to the variety of design parameters. For example the characterization of the usage context is difficult because of the mobility of the users as well as the different types of collaboration amongst them. In this paper we present a characterization space and a notation as useful tools for the design of Mobile Collaborative Mixed Systems. Our two contributions are placed within a scenario based design process.”

“In this paper we present ASUR++, a notation for describing, and reasoning about the design of, mobile interactive computer systems that combine physical and digital objects and information: mobile mixed systems. ASUR++ helps a designer to specify the key characteristics of such systems and to focus on the relationship between physical objects and actions and digital information exchanges. Following a brief introduction to the notation, we illustrate its potential usefulness via examples based on the design of an augmented museum gallery. We conclude with a consideration of the integration of ASUR++ into the system development process and its augmentation via associated methods and tools.”

“Integrating computer-based information into the real world of the user is becoming a crucial challenge for the designers of interactive systems. The Augmented Reality (AR) paradigm illustrates this trend. Information is provided by an AR system to facilitate or to enrich the natural way in which the user interacts with the real environment. We focus on the output of such systems and, in particular, on the smooth integration of additional information in the real environment of the user. We characterize the integration of the computer-provided entities with the real ones using two new properties: compatibility and continuity. After defining the two properties, we provide factors and an analytical method needed for assessing them. We also empirically study the two properties to highlight their impact on interaction. The CASPER system, developed in our teams, is used to illustrate the discussion.”

The Dimension Space is intended to help designers understand both the physical and virtual entities from which their systems are built, and the tradeoffs involved in both the design of the entities themselves and of the combination of these entities in a physical space. Entities are described from the point of view of a person carrying out a task at a particular time, in terms of their attention received, role, manifestation, input and output capacity and informational density. The Dimension Space is applied to two new systems developed at Grenoble, exposing design tradeoffs and design rules for richly interactive systems.”

“This article reports our reflection on software architecture modelling for multi-user systems (or groupware). First, we introduce the notion of software architecture and make explicit the design steps that most software designers in HCI tend to blend in a fuzzy way. Building on general concepts and practice from main stream software engineering, we then present a comparative analysis of the most significant architecture models developed for single-and multi-user systems. We close with the presentation of PAC*, a new architectural framework for modelling and designing the software architecture of multi-user systems. PAC* is a motivated combination of existing architectural models selected for the complementarity of their "good properties". These include operational heuristics such as rules for deriving agents in accordance to the task model or criteria for reasoning about replication, as well as properties such as support for style heterogeneity, portability, and reusability.”

“Certain design projects raise difficult user-interface problems that are not easily amenable to designers' intuition or rapid prototyping due to their novelty, conceptual complexity, and the difficulty of conducting appropriate user studies. Interpersonal access control in computer-mediated communication (CMC) systems is just such a problem. We describe a collection of systematic theory-based analyses of a system prototype that inherited its control mechanism from two preexisting systems. We demonstrate that the collective use of system and user modeling techniques provides insight into this complex design problem and enables us to examine the implications of design decisions for users and implementation. The analyses identify a number of weaknesses in the prototype and are used to propose ways of making substantive refinements to improve its simplicity and appropriateness for two tasks: altering one's accessibility and distinguishing between who can make what kinds of connections. We conclude with a discussion of some critical issues that are relevant for CMC systems, and reflect on the process of applying formal human-computer interaction (HCI) techniques in informal, exploratory design contexts.”

We show how theories and models from the domain of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) can be applied to the design of IRS. We first study the user's tasks by modelling the mental activities of the user while accomplishing a task. Adopting a system perspective, we consider the processing tasks of an IRS and organize them in a design space. We then build upon the design space to consider the implications of such data processing and levels of abstraction on software design. Finally we present PAC-Amodeus, a software architecture model and illustrate the applicability of the approach with the implementation of an IRS: the TIAPRI system.”

Proceedings of the ACM CHI 95 Human Factors in Computing Systems Conference May 7-11, 1995, Denver, Colorado. pp. 98-105. Available online

“Multimodal interactive systems support multiple interaction techniques such as the synergistic use of speech and direct manipulation. The flexibility they offer results in an increased complexity that current software tools do not address appropriately. One of the emerging technical problems in multimodal interaction is concerned with the fusion of information produced through distinct interaction techniques. In this article, we present a generic fusion engine that can be embedded in a multi-agent architecture modelling technique. We demonstrate the fruitful symbiosis of our fusion mechanism with PAC-Amodeus, our agent-based conceptual model, and illustrate the applicability of the approach with the implementation of an effective interactive system: MATIS, a Multimodal Airline Travel Information System.”

“This article is concerned with the usability and implementation of multimodal user interfaces. We show how the usability of such systems can be characterized in terms of the relations they are able to maintain between the modalities they support. Equivalence, assignment, redundancy, and complementarity of modalities form an interesting set of relations relevant to usability assessment and software design. We use the notion of compatibility between user preferences and system properties to show how the CARE properties interact with user modelling to predict usability during the design of a system. In addition we demonstrate how experimental evaluations can be based on the CARE properties. We then depart from the HCI perspective to consider the implications of such properties on software design and techniques: we present PAC-Amodeus, a software architecture model, in conjunction with a generic fusion mechanism.”

In: Ashlund, Stacey, Mullet, Kevin, Henderson, Austin, Hollnagel, Erik and White, Ted (eds.) Proceedings of the ACM CHI 93 Human Factors in Computing Systems Conference April 24-29, 1993, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. pp. 172-178. Available online

“Multimodal interaction enables the user to employ different modalities such as voice, gesture and typing for communicating with a computer. This paper presents an analysis of the integration of multiple communication modalities within an interactive system. To do so, a software engineering perspective is adopted. First, the notion of "multimodal system" is clarified. We aim at proving that two main features of a multimodal system are the concurrency of processing and the fusion of input/output data. On the basis of these two features, we then propose a design space and a method for classifying multimodal systems. In the last section, we present a software architecture model of multimodal systems which supports these two salient properties: concurrency of processing and data fusion. Two multimodal systems developed in our team, VoicePaint and NoteBook, are used to illustrate the discussion.”

Coutaz, Joëlle, Nigay, Laurence and Salber, Daniel (1993): The MSM Framework: A Design Space for Multi-Sensori-Motor Systems. In: East-West International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Proceedings of the EWHCI93 1993. pp. 220-232.

“One of the new design goals in Human Computer Interaction is to extend the sensory-motor capabilities of computer systems to better match the natural communication means of human beings. This article proposes a dimension space that should help reasoning about current and future Multi-Sensori-Motor systems (MSM). To do so, we adopt a system centered perspective although we draw upon the "Interacting Cognitive Subsystems" psychological model. Our problem space is comprised of 6 dimensions. The first two dimensions deal with the notion of communication channel: the number and direction of the channels that a particular MSM system supports. The other four dimensions are used to characterize the degree of built-in cognitive sophistication of the system: levels of abstraction, context, fusion/fission, and granularity of concurrency. We illustrate the discussion with examples of multimedia and multimodal systems, both MSM systems but with distinct degrees of built-in cognitive sophistication.”
