Despite optimistic expectations, the spread of multimodal mobile applications is proceeding slowly. Nevertheless the power of new high-end devices gives the opportunity to create a new class of application with advanced synergic multimodal features. In this paper we present the results the CHAT group achieved in defining and building a platform for developing synergic mobile multimodal services. CHAT is a project co-funded by Italian Ministry of Research, aimed at providing multimodal context-sensitive services to mobile users. Our architecture is based on the following key concepts: thin client approach, modular client interface, asynchronous content push, distributed recognition, natural language processing, speech driven semantic fusion. The core of the system is based on a mix of web and telecommunication technologies. This choice proved to be very useful to create high personalized context sensitive services. One of the main features is the possibility to push appropriate contents on the user terminal reducing unfriendly user interactions.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-87991-6_25
