Abstract
A method and system for modeless operation of a multi-modal user interface through implementation of independent decision networks includes presenting a command to a dialog manager and comparing the command to a table of decision networks to determine if a corresponding decision network entry exists. The dialog manager creates a new instance of a decision network when a corresponding decision network entry is found. The new instance of the decision network is traversed in an isolated thread of execution such that a plurality of decision networks of a same instance or different instances may be active simultaneously. The new instance of the decision network is executed responsive to the command.
