Joint AMI/Pascal/IM2/M4/ workshop, June 21-23 2004, Martigny
What is needed?
•Cognitive Systems
•Extensive foundational work of exploratory nature
•“Cover ground”  (as we don’t really know yet what is important)
–The nature of cognition, knowledge, the role of language
–Architectures
–Perception, learning
–Autonomy, notion of self, social interaction
•Interdisciplinary partnerships
•Multimodal Interfaces
•Significant advances in key areas:
•“Emotional interfaces”
•Interfaces that are anticipatory, learning, evolving and emerging: the “Do what I mean” paradigm
•Seamless control of IT enabled intelligent environment
•Fusion/synchronisation of multiple modalities
•Real-time, better than human interpretation of everyday language
•
From ER:
design theory as an enabling discipline;
new and innovative perspectives on user centred design; multimodal technology in the arts, multimodality in mobile devices and handwriting (on-line and off-line) as a modality.
emphasis on adaptivity and learning, unexplored modalities, the haptics modality, multilinguality and cross cultural issues.
