 My research intends to provide abstractions that bind a number of services residing on different mobile devices into coherent entities. Programmers can then use these abstractions to communicate with groups of services as easily as with single services.

+My research focuses on investigating programming language support to deal with the massive amount of concurrent events generated by various input devices. By providing adequate software abstractions for correlating multiple input devices we try to encourage multimodal gestural interaction and ease their implementations.
+The relation of my research and AmOP is the //spontaneous collaborative manipulation of digital information//. One scenario is that multiple people can interact using their laptop or mobile device with a shared virtual smart-board over a wireless network. Another scenario is the peer-to-peer data exchange where one users 'throws' (gesture 1) data and another users 'catches' (gesture 2) it. This type of interaction is both distributed in the //actions// they perform (correlate the 'throw' and 'catch' from different devices) and in the //data// that is exchanged.
