</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Using VoiceXML and XML technologies, the development of simple multimodal interfaces to company applications is today possible without involvement of significant speech and natural language processing expertise, by following architecture models like the one proposed in this paper. It is important for knowledge-intensive companies to define a stance on how to deal with this technology, because given the parameters of mobile data access, multimodal interfaces and the resulting improvements to mobile data and information access, which foster knowledge creation, will likely become competitively relevant.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Future work of our group will elaborate the proposed reference architecture, by providing prototype implementations of the visual communicator, voice communicator, and multimodal integrator for different multimodal interaction patterns, and by describing general interfaces between them.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> The standardization work for a multimodal dialog language to supersede VoiceXML will bring further improvements to the development models for multimodal interfaces.</Paragraph>
