....generation, all information to be communicated is represented in a uniform logical form representation language. Since both generators rely on the same formalism, they can provide information to each other concerning encoding decisions simply by annotating the logical forms. Arens and colleagues [12] propose a strict separation of the planning and the medium selection processes. During the planning process, their system fully specifies the discourse structure, which is determined by the communicative goals of the presenter and the content to be communicated. Then, special rules are applied to ....

....different subject matters on separate channels or do not present a large amount of information on non persistent media . Arens et al. have developed an automated multimedia presentation planner. As in INTUITIVE, the allocation process is based on the description of a discourse structure [Arens 93] The discourse structure is a tree like structure of discourse segments which define the basic organization of the information to be presented. It is neutral with regard to the output modalities but expresses communicative goals of the system. For example, two discourse segments related by the ....

....artificial intelligence approach [Poole, 1990] to user modelling is to first build the most likely user model, and then from this user model to prepare the best presentation. This is a recognition task followed by a design task. 4 There is also the important issue of allocating the media, [Arens et al. 1993] , which involves hard to automate decisions about what medium in a multimedia environment best conveys the information value of a datum. Such decisions are very context dependent, and are prone to unforeseen cross modal effects [Csinger, 1994, Wahlster et al. 1991] 5 Although this discussion ....

....Searle s hierarchy. Interesting work has been done to extend speech act theory to other modalities (e.g. Novitz [152] gives convincing arguments for the ability of pictures to accomplish the equivalent of illocutionary acts) and multimodal presentation systems have made use of this work [5] 10] [11]. The notion of communicative intent espoused in this thesis is similar to any one of many alternative formulations of the speech act. In particular, the illocutionary act corresponds quite well with authorial intent: the understanding that the author is trying to convey. An utterance is said to ....

.... but also interpret them in a particular context and provide information that goes far beyond the set of visual input data (cf. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Intelligent multimedia generation systems which employ several media such as text, graphics, and animation for the presentation of information (cf. [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]) increasingly attract attention in many application areas since they (1) are able to flexibly tailor presentations to a user s individualneeds and style preferences, 2) may use one medium in place of another, and (3) may combine media so that the strength of one medium will overcome the weakness ....

....[Feiner McKeown 91] a tree like structure that reflects the organization of the presentation to be generated is built up first. This tree is extended by the mediumspecific generators in a monotone manner. The system does not allow for revisions caused by medium selection. Arens and colleagues [Arens et al. 93a] propose a strict separation of planning and medium selection processes. During the planning process, their system fully specifies the discourse structure, which is determined by the communicative goals of the presenter and the content to be communicated. After that, special rules are applied ....

....at system development time. In addition, the presentation of these additional geometric objects must be adapted to the interaction gadgets for user actions. Compare this to intelligent multimedia presentation systems but note that these systems operate at runtime (cf. Wahlster et al. 1993) Arens et al. 1993)) In the spirit of other design environments (see also Johnson et al. 1995) the goal of the framework presented in this paper (called HAMVIS, HAMburg VIsualization System) is to reduce runtime costs by exploiting models for user actions and domain objects as well as specifications of ....

For our purposes, we have chosen to borrow and adapt a partial classification of a producer s communicative goals from existing work on Speech Acts.

....planning paradigm is not adequate for the task. Consider first the operation of the bottom up media allocation planner: at some point, its rules may call for it to arrange material from two separate portions of the discourse structure to be presented in a single display (for an example see [Arens et al. 93b] In order to signal to the perceiver what is going on, however, the display must include a message, possibly a line of text, explaining that due to the basic similarity of the material two separate sets of information are shown in the same display. This may happen, for example, when the display ....
