Abstract:

This document has been prepared in the ESPRIT BRA No. 8579, Multimodal Integration for Advanced Multimedia Interfaces --- in the following referred to as --- in order to serve as a basis for future work. The basic terms which will be used in will be defined and an overview on man-machine-interfaces will be given. The term ``taxonomy'' is used in the following sense, adapted from [217]: ``1: the study of the general principles of scientific classification: SYSTEMATICS; 2: CLASSIFICATION; specif: orderly classification of plants and animals according to their presumed natural relationships''; but instead of plants and animals, we attempt to classify input and output modalities.
