A distributed system for integrated speech and image understanding

Most published work in the field of pattern analysis, in our opinion underestimates the importance of system architecture or system development. When building large distributed systems both become a prerequisite in order to achieve the overall goal - a complex system solving a demanding task. In our paper we present the approach we have taken and the first solutions we found for an architecture integrat ing speech and image understanding. We will focus on those aspects that facilitate the process of developping a large distributed system in cooperation between many researches.
