MIS: Multimodal Interaction Services in a cloud perspective

TL;DR

This paper explores how cloud-based Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) can enhance multimodal human-machine interaction by leveraging cloud resources for processing and reasoning, thus improving naturalness and flexibility.

Contribution

It proposes a cloud-centric SOA framework for multimodal interaction, emphasizing its benefits in scalability, flexibility, and holistic user experience.

Findings

Cloud computing enhances multimodal interaction capabilities.

SOA supports scalable and flexible multimodal services.

Improved naturalness in human-machine interaction through cloud resources.

Abstract

The Web is becoming more and more a wide software framework on which each one can compose and use contents, software applications and services. It can offer adequate computational resources to manage the complexity implied by the use of the five senses when involved in human machine interaction. The core of the paper describes how SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) can support multimodal interaction by pushing the I/O processing and reasoning to the cloud, improving naturalness. The benefits of cloud computing for multimodal interaction have been identified by emphasizing the flexibility and scalability of a SOA, and its characteristics to provide a more holistic view of interaction according to the variety of situations and users.
