Multiadaptive interfaces to cyber-physical environments

Networked cyber-physical systems are the basis for intelli-gent environments in a variety of settings such as smart factories, smart transportation systems, smart shops, and smart buildings. However, one of the remaining grand challenges for the Internet of Things is to transform the way how humans interact with and control such cyber-physical environments (CPE). A major goal of our research is the creation of a multiadaptive dialogue management system that is adaptive in multiple ways: adaptive to various CPE, adaptive to diverse modality combinations, adaptive to a variety of interaction metaphors, and adaptive to diverse task domains and user models.
