From: Niels Ole Bernsen and Hans Dybkjær and Laila Dybkjær: Elements of Speech Interaction.

With the spreading of interactive speech systems technologies, a clear need arises for theory which may adequately support the development of increasingly sophisticated but still restricted interactive speech systems. A complete and applied theory of spoken human-machine interaction would rigorously support efficient interactive speech systems development from initial requirements capture through to the test and maintenance phases. It would include support for interaction model development and implementation, appropriate functionality design, usability optimisation, interactive speech systems evaluation and maintenance. Above all, such a theory would have to be based on the fact that the interaction models of today's interactive speech systems are all task-oriented, they enable the system to carry out spoken interaction with users in limited application domains [Smith and Hipp 1994].

The interaction model defines the strategy that drives the dialogue. The dialogue strategy may lie between two extremes: the user is granted complete freedom of initiative, or the dialogue is driven by the dialogue manager. The former choice supports naturalness on the user's side but increases the risk of misunderstandings, while the latter provides easier recognition conditions, though the resulting dialogues can be long and unfriendly.

From: SICS - HUMLE (Human-Computer Interaction and Language Engineering) - The HUMLE group at SICS conducts research in the area of user-adaptive and multimodal human-computer interaction, a subfield of Intelligent Interfaces.

A great challenge for interface development is to provide a uniform interaction model independent of whether the user is sitting at his or her office computer, phoning in from a mobile phone, accessing the system while driving his or her car or travelling on the subway.
