Principles of Constructing Polymodal Infocommunication Systems for Information Space User Service

Today, users of information space tend to exploit capabilities of interaction to their fullest extent. The principle of division of connection services gradually transforms to the single service of “connection to a network”. An implementation of this service is possible using polymodal infocommunication systems. Here, a user is provided with a connection channel that is supplied with appropriate modalities and according to his/her preferences. The objective premises for design of such systems are the usage of multi-modal user interfaces and heterogeneous access networks for effective user maintenance and usage of infocommunication services. The main problem addressed by the current work is unsufficient development level of the methodological base used for achieving the aims of infocommunication systems of a new type. In order to address it, we present the new construction principles of polymodal infocommunication systems for information space user service. We showed that implementation of infocommunication systems is possible only based on optical invariant transport networks and heterogeneous access networks. This principle provides the system with new possibilities for improvement of efficiency, reliability and resiliency of a system.
