Description & Coverage
Description:

The use of multimodality combined with mobile devices allows a simple, intuitive communication approach and generates new and pervasive services for users.

Multimodal Human Computer Interaction and Pervasive Services provides theoretical and practical concepts, methodologies, and applications used to design and develop multimodal systems. Collecting cutting-edge research by international experts, this Premier Reference Source addresses the many challenges of multimodal systems with a particular focus on mobile devices.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Amibuity management in multimodal systems
  • Analyzing multimodal interaction
  • Mobile virtual blackboard
  • Multimodal human computer interaction
  • Multimodal input fusion strategies
  • Multimodal language processor
  • Multimodal user interface
  • Pervasive services
  • Technology acceptance models
  • Usability evaluation of multimodal interfaces
  • Web accessiblity to the visually impaired
Reviews & Statements

This book provides theoretical and practical scenarios, concepts, methodologies, standards, definitions and applications used to design and develop multimodal systems, focusing on mobile devices and pervasive services. It gives an overview of the existing works in this sector, discussing the different strategies adopted for the fusion input process, optimization processes on mobile devices, ambiguity and error handling related to one or more modalities, the fission process, the personalization and adaptation of multimodal mobile services and the accessibility and usability criteria.

Editor/Author Biographies
Patrizia Grifoni has been a researcher of the National Research Council of Italy since 1990, where she works within the staff researchers of MultiModal Laboratory of the Institute of Research on Population and Social Policies. She received her degrees in Electronics Engineering at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. From 1994 to 2000 she was a professor of "Elaborazione digitale delle immagini" at the University of Macerata.

She is the author of more than 70 papers in international journals, books and conferences. She served as referee of several international conferences, books and journals and is co-organiser of international research workshops and events. Her scientific interests have evolved from query languages for statistical and geographic databases to human-computer interaction, multimodal interaction and languages, visual languages, visual interfaces, sketch-based interfaces, web technologies, social networks. She was responsible of several projects funded by Italian and International Institutions.
