Workshop on W3C's Multimodal Architecture and Interfaces — Agenda

General information:

• Note that some presentations will contain material that is relevant to multiple sessions. Thus, material may be presented in an earlier session than the one in which it is discussed.
• Presentation time is strictly limited to 30 minutes to ensure sufficient time for questions and discussion at the end of each session.
• During the discussion, new issues that are identified will be added to the "discussion list" which will be reviewed during session 7.
• Attendees will be asked to write detailed descriptions of issues during the conference. These descriptions will be inserted into the conference minutes.
