Abstract
Multimedia communication is a part of everyday life and its appearance in computer applications is increasing in frequency and diversity. Intelligent or knowledge based computer supported communication promises a number of benefits including increased interaction efficiency and effectiveness. This article defines the area of intelligent multimedia communication, outlines fundamental research questions, summarizes the associated scientific and technical history, identifies current challenges and concludes by predicting future breakthroughs including multilinguality. We conclude describing several new research issues that systems of systems raise.
