Abstract:

This paper presents work on an artificial anthropomorphic agent with multimodal interaction
abilities. It focuses on the development of a markup language, MURML, that bridges between the
planning and the animation tasks in the production of multimodal utterances. This hierarchically
structured notation provides flexible means of describing gestures in a form-based way and of
explicitly expressing their relations to accompanying speech.
