Computing and Informatics

The quality enhancement of infocommunication systems based on integration of semantically different information transmitted over different communication channels is discussed. The increase of the informational efficiency of the multimodal communication systems is provided by using multimodal subscriber interfaces, compared to traditional telecommunications. The proposed approach is new in the subject area and requires a variety of research studies to develop innovative elements of the theory of multimodal information transmission. A notion of information value is introduced in order to estimate and chose functional structures and parameters that possess the most favorable informational characteristics during development of multimodal communication systems.
