Constructive Dialogue Modelling
Wiley 2009; US$ 120.00Dialogue management technology has developed rapidly over the years resulting in real-time applications like telephony directories, timetable enquiries, and in-car applications. However, the current technology is still largely based on models that use rigid command language type interactions, and the users need to adapt their human communication strategies... more...
Man-Machine Interactions
Springer 2009; US$ 349.99This volume reflects a number of research streams on the development of computer systems and software that makes it possible to employ them in a variety of human activities ranging from logic studies and artificial intelligence, rule-based control of technological processes, image analysis, expert systems and decision support, to assistance in creative... more...
Multi-Modal Signal Processing
Elsevier Science 2009; US$ 140.95Multimodal signal processing is a ?hot? new area with applications in security (user identification) and medical health. Often these applications will be sensor networks, an area that is getting massive funding. Multi-modal refers to the different types of signals received from different source types: vision, speech, touch, smell and text. Processing... more...
Multi-Modal User Interactions in Controlled Environments
Springer 2010; US$ 94.99Multi-Modal User Interactions In Controlled Environments investigates the capture and analysis of user's multimodal behavior (mainly eye gaze, eye fixation, eye blink and body movements) within a real controlled environment (controlled-supermarket, personal environment) in order to adapt the response of the computer/environment to the user. Such... more...
Multimodal Usability
Springer 2009; US$ 119.99This book is about how to develop and evaluate multimodal systems which are usable by, or fit, people. The main objective is to answer the practical question of what system developers need to know and be able to do in order to develop usable new multimodal applications. The need to know is addressed in the first part of the book, in which the role... more...
