This defect may cause behavioral mismatches although the provider and the requester are functionally compatible.

The second view is that the SW will be, at a minimum, the World Wide Web with its constituent documents annotated so as to yield their content, or meaning structure, more directly. This view makes natural language processing central as the procedural bridge from texts to KR, usually via some form of automated information extraction. The third view is that the SW is about trusted databases as the foundation of a system of Web processes and services. There's also a fourth view, which is much more difficult to define and discuss: If the SW just keeps moving as an engineering development and is lucky, then real problems won't arise.

Ziel der Untersuchung ist es, anhand von mittelfristig zu erwartenden RFID-Anwendungen verschiedener Kernbranchen der deutschen Wirtschaft die Anforderungen an die technologieintegrierte Datensicherheit von RFID-Systemen zu analysieren und offene technologische Fragestellungen zu thematisieren. Da die technische Einbindung der RFID-Technologie stark von Branche und Einsatzgebiet abhängt, zeigen sich manche realen Sicherheitsbedrohungen erst im Zusammenhang mit konkreten Anwendungsszenarien. Anhand der Szenarien Unternehmensübergreifende Werkstückidentifikation und Supply Chain (Produktion), Auszeichnung von Konsumgütern (Handel), und Fälschungssicherheit von Medikamenten definiert die Studie Sicherheitsanforderungen und leitet konkrete Sicherheitsmaßnahmen ab. Anschließend werden diese mit den bisherigen technischen Umsetzungen verglichen, um offene FuE-Fragestellungen zu identifizieren und FuE-Empfeh-lungen zu geben. Die in der Untersuchung identifizierten offenen FuE-Fragestellungen sollen der deutschen Forschung und Industrie helfen, zielgerichtet die derzeitigen technologischen Engpässe zu überwinden und die führende Position der Bundesrepublik in der Entwicklung und Anwendung von RFID-Systemen weiter auszubauen.

Allowing all of the modalities to refer to and depend upon each other is a key to the richness of multimodal communication. We introduce the notion of symmetric multimodality for dialogue systems in which all input modes (e.g., speech, gesture, facial expression) are also available for output, and vice versa. A dialogue system with symmetric multimodality must not only understand and represent the user’s multimodal input, but also its own multimodal output. We present an overview of the SmartKom system that provides full symmetric multimodality in a mixed-initiative dialogue system with an embodied conversational agent. SmartKom represents a new generation of multimodal dialogue systems that deal not only with simple modality integration and synchronization but cover the full spectrum of dialogue phenomena that are associated with symmetric multimodality (including crossmodal references, one-anaphora, and backchannelling). We show that SmartKom’s plug-and-play architecture supports multiple recognizers for a single modality, e.g., the user’s speech signal can be processed by three unimodal recognizers in parallel (speech recognition, emotional prosody, boundary prosody). We detail SmartKom’s three-tiered representation of multimodal discourse, consisting of a domain layer, a discourse layer, and a modality layer. We discuss the limitations of SmartKom and how they are overcome in the follow-up project SmartWeb. In addition, we present the research roadmap for multimodality addressing the key open research questions in this young field. To conclude, we discuss the economic and scientific impact of the SmartKom project, which has led to more than 50 patents and 29 spin-off products.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2d0176e4836c7c9c3784ed065dbecaa7f/flint63}, keywords = {v0805 dialog dfki paper multimodal ai processing language smartkom} } @incollection{Wahlster08p300, title = {{SmartWeb --- Ein multimodales Dialogsystem für das semantische Web}}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, author = {Wolfgang Wahlster}, booktitle = {Informatikforschung in Deutschland}, editor = {Bernd Reuse and Roland Vollmar}, pages = {300-311}, publisher = {Springer}, year = 2008, timestamp = {2008.01.23}, file = {Preprint:2008/Wahlster08p300.pdf:PDF}, owner = {flint}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/27ace6b869e9cb57e7dcf297a2b590035/flint63}, keywords = {smartweb semantic paper ai v0805 web multimodal dialog dfki project} } @article{Vincent07IEEEcomputer, title = {Taking Online Maps Down to Street Level}, author = {Luc Vincent}, journal = {Computer}, number = 12, pages = {118-120}, volume = 40, year = 2007, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/MC.2007.442}, timestamp = {2008.02.07}, issn = {0018-9162}, file = {IEEE Digital Library:2007/Vincent07IEEEcomputer.pdf:PDF}, owner = {flint}, abstract = {StreetView enables simple navigation between street-level images without losing the map concept.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/272542680b9f45b02e09296fbdda8d4b5/flint63}, keywords = {interface 3d v0805 image graphics user paper ieee map google} } @article{VertegaalPoupyrev08cacm, title = {Organic User Interfaces}, author = {Roel Vertegaal and Ivan Poupyrev}, journal = {Communications of the ACM}, number = 6, pages = {26-30}, volume = 51, year = 2008, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/1349026.1349033}, timestamp = {2008.07.02}, issn = {0001-0782}, file = {ACM Digital Library:2008/VertegaalPoupyrev08cacm.pdf:PDF}, owner = {flint}, abstract = {In this special section, we attempt to map out a future where new display technologies are commonplace.
