ABSTRACT
Automation in the course of user-interface (UI) development has the potential to save resources and time. For graphical user interfaces, quite some research has been performed on their automated generation. While the results are still not in wide-spread use, at least the problems are well understood meanwhile. In contrast, automated generation of multimodal UIs is still in its infancy. We address this problem by proposing a tool-supported process for generating multimodal UIs for dialogue-based interactive systems. For its concrete enactment, we provide tool support for generating a runtime configuration and glue code, respectively. In a nutshell, our approach generates multimodal dialogue-based UIs semi-automatically.
