A synthetic agent requires the coordinated use of multiple sensory and effector modalities in order to achieve a social human-robot interaction (HRI). While systems in which such a concatenation of multi- ple modalities exist, the issue of information coordination across modal- ities to identify relevant context information remains problematic. A system-wide information formalism is typically used to address the issue, which requires a re-encoding of all information into the system ontology. We propose a general approach to this information coordination issue, focussing particularly on a potential application to a dialogue strategy learning and selection system embedded within a wider architecture for social HRI. Rather than making use of a common system ontology, we rather emphasise a sub-symbolic association-driven architecture which has the capacity to influence the ‘internal' processing of all individual system modalities, without requiring the explicit processing or interpre- tation of modality-specific information.
