JVoiceXML as a Modality Component in the W3C Multimodal Architecture

Research regarding multimodal interaction led to a multitude of proposals for suitable software architectures. With all architectures describing multimodal systems differently, interoperability is severely hindered. The W3C MMI architecture is a proposed recommendation for a common architecture. In this article, we describe our experiences integrating JVoiceXML into the W3C MMI architecture and identify general limitations with regard to the available design space
