Multimodal browsing using XML/XSL architecture

With the increasing development of devices such as personal computers, WAP and personal digital assistants connected to the world wide Web, end users feel the need to browse the Internet through multiple modalities. We intend to investigate on how to create a user interface and a service distribution platform granting the user access to the Internet through standard I/O modalities and voice simultaneously. Different architectures are evaluated suggesting the more suitable for each client terminal (PC or WAP). In particular the design of the multimodal user-machine interface considers the synchronization issue between graphical and voice contents.
