Abstract
The vision of pervasive computing, the ability to access services and information anytime, anywhere, and from any device, is accelerated by emerging innovations in hardware, software, and network connectivity. Ubiquitous access presents an array of challenges, especially for applications in the mobile context because mobile devices have functional limitations due to size and available computational resources. Multimodal interfaces combined with careful considerations of the usability concerns in multimodal interaction can mitigate many of these limitations.
