A method for multi-modal data fusion (), a multi-modal system data fusion system () and module () that in use operates by receiving segments () of multi-modal data associated respectively with a modalitiy. Initiating () a dynamically variable wait period after one of the segments is received is then performed. The dynamically variable wait period has a duration determined from data fusion timing statistics of the system (). A waiting () for reception of any further segments during the dynamically variable wait period is then effected and thereafter a fusing () of the segments received provides fused data that is sent () to a dialog manager ().
