2 Functionality
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The SAMMIE system provides a multi-modal interface to an in-car MP3 player (see Fig. 1) through speech and haptic input with a BMW iDrive input device, a button which can be turned, pushed down and sideways in four directions (see Fig. 2 left).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> System output is provided by speech and a graphical display integrated into the car's dashboard. An example of the system display is shown in Fig. 2.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2">  The MP3 player application offers a wide range of functions: The user can control the currently playing song, search and browse an MP3 database by looking for any of the fields (song, artist, album, year, etc.), search and select playlists and even construct and edit playlists.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> The user of SAMMIE has complete freedom in interacting with the system. Input can be through any modality and is not restricted to answers to system queries. On the contrary, the user can give new tasks as well as any information relevant to the current task at any time. This is achieved by modeling the interaction as a collaborative problem solving process, and multi-modal interpretation that fits user input into the context of the current task. The user is also free in their use of multimodality: SAMMIE handles deictic references (e.g., Play this title while pushing the iDrive button) and also cross-modal references, e.g., Play the third song (on the list). Table 1 shows a typical interaction with the SAMMIE system; the displayed song list is in Fig. 2. SAMMIE supports interaction in German and English.</Paragraph>
