e-COMM, un éditeur pour spécifier l'interaction multimodale et multiutilisateur

Abstract

Addressing this issue of lack of design tools for multi-user multimodal systems, we present the COMM (Collaborative and MultiModal) notation and its on-line editor for specifying multi-user multimodal interactive systems. Extending the CTT notation, the salient features of the COMM notation include the concepts of interactive role and modal task. The e-COMM graphical user interface emphasizes direct manipulation of the COMM concepts in order to avoid forms, menus or toolbars as much as possible. Such UI should encourage focus on the specification under development.
