Besides the continuing activities of the last 25 years in constructing natural language interfaces by simulating the human natural language capacities on machines and the upcoming of its “natural” alternative at the beginning of the eighties, the graphical interfaces, a lot of recent research activities in computer science, artificial intelligence and information science center around multimodal computer systems.
