An object oriented design of a speech driven user interface management system

Abstract

This paper describes an object oriented design of a User Interface Management System (UIMS) for an intelligent speech driven interface to computer applications, which is based on a generic task model approach. An object-oriented method is used to represent the class of models required in the system and a particular example, a simple programming environment for the language Modula-2 is described. The paper concludes with a discussion of the extension of the method to other more complex applications.
