Abstract: A system and method for providing distributed multimodal interaction are provided. The system is a hybrid multimodal dialogue system that includes one or multiple hybrid constructs to form sequential and joint events in multimodal interaction. It includes an application interface receiving a multimodal interaction request for conducting a multimodal interaction over at least two different modality channels; and at least one hybrid construct communicating with multimodal servers corresponding to the multiple modality channels to execute the multimodal interaction request.
