    The Anonymous Poem addressed to George of Antioch, plenipotentiary minister of the Norman king Roger II, is one of the longest existent poem in Medieval Greek. Exile poem, heartfelt plea of redemption and freedom, it can be looked at from different perspectives: literary, linguistic and historical. But first and foremost it represents a unique example of that Norman court culture whose byzantine components may still surprise. Willing to please the addressee in order to prove himself worthy of mercy through a skilful use of rhetoric, the author develops a rich repertoire of sources, both Greek and Latin, that certainly deserve further attention. Following the career of the architect of king Roger’s politics through the poem’s verses, this paper aims to enlighten the multiple faces of power during that very period when roman-byzantine culture provided its legitimacy

    In this work we propose an architecture for handling multi-modal browsing through the synchronization of HTML and VoiceXML documents. A client uses a traditional Web brower to interpret HTML documents. The client should also be able to acquire and transmit the voice signal to the server (voice channel). The server slide hosts: a conventional Web server, which handles both HTML and VoiceXML requests, the Speech Server, which manages both ASR and TTS resources and the multi-modal brower process. The symchronization take place through a TCP/IP connection between the two browser (visual and multi-modal). The multi-modal brower consists of 3 components: a Voice Gate that manages the voice channel, a Visual Gate that manages a TCP/IP connection with the Web browser and an Interpreter Manage that corresponds to the VOiceXML Interpreter Context and integrates the VOiceXML Interprete
