Abstract
Interfaces combining natural language, speech and graphics take advantage of both the individual strengths of each communication mode and the fact that these modes can be employed in parallel. It is important to co-ordinate these media so that they improve communication capabilities. This paper describes the MICASSEM (Multimedia Interface for Circuit board ASSEMbly) system that applies user modelling to solve the problems associated with the selection and integration of multimedia output for both engineers and operators within NorTel. The paper also details how the system incorporates co-ordinated graphics, text, verbal and audio input and composes multimedia output for use by both engineers and operators.
