The present volume is a companion to the Handbook of Standards and Resources for Spoken Language Systems, and addresses decision makers, developers and advanced students in the human language technologies who are looking for guidance in areas such as the evaluation of consumer off-the-shelf products, multimodal and audiovisual systems, terminology, and current resources for system development and evaluation.

The publication of the Handbook marked a milestone in the development of the spoken language technologies. Standards, in the sense of consensus about the best laboratory practice of the time, were formulated by leading experts and negotiated interactively with a large number of European laboratories working in the field. As with any handbook, even during the authoring phases it was clear that the Handbook could not keep pace with all developments in a rapidly expanding field, and the more modest aim of creating a standard common platform for best practice in the field was pursued. A mode of dissemination in which knowledge can be continually updated was considered; maintenance cost would, however, have been prohibitively high.

To the specialist, a number of gaps in the Handbook are evident, and full coverage of the field is currently an extremely elusive goal. The editors of the first Handbook selected a number of topics for further treatment, in consultation with project partners and other colleagues in the field. These topics formed the substance of work in the EAGLES Phase II Project (LE3-4244 10484/0), Work Packages 4, 5 and 6 (constituting the Spoken Language Working Group, SLWG), and were developed using the consensus negotiating procedures which had already been tried and tested during the development of the first EAGLES Handbook. The present volume presents the results of this work, which is indicated in the title Handbook of Multimodal and Spoken Dialogue Systems: Resources, Terminology, and Product Evaluation.
