KUP: a model for the multimodal presentation of information in ambient intelligence

This paper deals with the design of multimodal information systems in ambient intelligence. Its agent architecture is based on KUP, an alternative to traditional software architecture models for human-computer interaction. The KUP model is accompanied by an algorithm for choosing and instantiating interaction modalities. The model and the algorithm have been implemented in a platform called PRIAM, with which we have performed experiments in pseudo-real scale.
