	abstract = {Emergency response requires strategic assessment of risks, decisions,
	and communications that are time critical while requiring teams of
	individuals to have fast access to large volumes of complex information
	and technologies that enable tightly coordinated work. The access
	to this information by crisis management teams in emergency operations
	centers can be facilitated through various human-computer interfaces.
	Unfortunately, these interfaces are hard to use, require extensive
	training, and often impede rather than support teamwork. Dialogue-enabled
	devices, based on natural, multimodal interfaces, have the potential
	of making a variety of information technology tools accessible during
	crisis management. This paper establishes the importance of multimodal
	interfaces in various aspects of crisis management and explores many
	issues in realizing successful speech-gesture driven, dialogue-enabled
	interfaces for crisis management. This paper is organized in five
	parts. The first part discusses the needs of crisis management that
	can be potentially met by the development of appropriate interfaces.
	The second part discusses the issues related to the design and development
	of multimodal interfaces in the context of crisis management. The
	third part discusses the state of the art in both the theories and
	practices involving these human-computer interfaces. In particular,
	it describes the evolution and implementation details of two representative
	systems, Crisis Management (XISM) and Dialog Assisted Visual Environment
	for Geoinformation (DAVE/spl I.bar/G). The fourth part speculates
	on the short-term and long-term research directions that will help
	addressing the outstanding challenges in interfaces that support
	dialogue and collaboration. Finally, the fifth part concludes the
	paper.},
