    What's hot on the Web right now - A W3C perspective

    by Armin Haller

    Invited Presentation

    University of Queensland, Australia

    Relevant technology areas: Web Design and Applications and Semantic Web.

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:
    As the title suggests the talk will dive into the current hot topics on the World Wide Web ... but no, you won't hear the latest gossip from Kim Kardashian or in what costume Lady Gaga has appeared at the MTV awards. The talk will be about the technology behind the Web, enabling those breaking news to be published. This technology (i.e. HTTP and HTML) and the Web itself enter their third decade of existence. Still, the Web continues to transform human communication, information sharing, commerce, education, and entertainment. Social networking, cloud computing, and the convergence of Web, television, video and online gaming are among the phenomena stretching the Web in exciting new directions. In this talk, Armin will present what the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), overlooking and steering the development of new Web standards is up to for the third decade of the Web. The W3C community is building an Open Web Platform that will enable the Web to grow and foster future innovation. This talk will present technology highlights of 2011 for advancing the Web platform. Focus topics of this talk will be the new HTML5 standard, the Data for Web Applications initiative which includes the next generation of RDF, and standards that allow people to create Semantic Web enabled Web Apps that have access to data from a variety of sources, including data-in-documents (RDFa) and data-from-databases (W3C's RDB2RDF).

    by Shawn Henry

    SXSW interactive

    Austin, TX, USA

    Relevant technology areas: Web Design and Applications, Browsers and Other Agents, and Web of Devices.

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:

    This session is for you if:
    * you want to expand your business, your experience, or your resume; OR
    * you are not yet on the accessibility bandwagon, or even are against accessibility requirements; OR
    * you believe in accessibility, but are having trouble getting your boss and/or clients to support it
    (no matter what your accessibility experience, from new to accessibility to accessibility expert – no matter what your technical level)!

    Forget about checklists.* Put away the standards and guidelines.* Focusing on accessibility regulations won't win you many friends or fame. In this session you'll learn what can bring you friends and fame, along with success and satisfaction. Get the secret to making your website and other products work well for older users, people with disabilities, mobile users, and more. <grab those aging baby boomers by their iPhones>

    If you answer yes to any of these questions, you should come to this session:

    • Do you believe in accessibility but are having trouble getting your boss/clients to support it?
    • Do you think accessibility is a waste of your time and effort? Or, at least not something that you want to work on?
    • Do you want to WOW your current or potential future boss/clients and stand out from the crowd?

    This session challenges the way most people think about accessibility. We'll turn the tables on the technical aspects and take a good look at the human aspects -- and how to use this to advance your business. We'll provide specific guidance on using new resources to improve your organization's accessibility approach and future outlook. You'll get a clear plan and specific tips on how to conduct a buy-in session that will make your life better. (really, it will make your life better) Come away with a fresh approach to design and development of products that work for people, and make you shine.

    * (for a while. we'll show when to come back to them later).

    Making Your UA Accessible to All

    by Shawn Henry

    Relevant technology areas: Web Design and Applications and Browsers and Other Agents.

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:

    Accessibility is about designing products so that more people can use them effectively in more situations, specifically people with disabilities and older users. Making products accessible is good business, is important for society, and is a legal requirement in more and more situations. As attention to accessibility of products continues to grow, accessibility of our user assistance will be an even greater factor.

    There are now a plethora of resources on accessibility -- so many that it's hard to know where to start and what applies to your specific situation. This session directs you to key resources so you can get the answers you need fast. It includes a brief update on international accessibility standards, and offers an approach to accessibility based on user-centered design (UCD)/user experience (UX).

    With engaging stories and illustrations, Shawn will show how to use methodologies and techniques from UCD/UX to make your user assistance more usable and effective for more people in more situations -- including older users, people with disabilities, people using mobile devices, and everyone. You'll get specific guidance on using new resources to improve the accessibility approach in your organization, starting now.

    You will learn:

    • The importance of accessibility for individuals, organizations, society, and you yourself
    • Approaches for making all types of UA accessible
    • How accessibility techniques fit well within UCD/UX methodologies
    • The status of international accessibility standards
    • About resources to help you:
      • integrate accessibility into your processes
      • develop a business case for accessibility
      • use accessibility guidelines and standards
      • understand how people with disabilities use technology
      • design for older users

    Usability, accessibility and inter-operability standards for multimodal mobile healthcare and clinical trials (panel)

    by Raj Tumuluri and Deborah Dahl

    Relevant technology areas: Web Design and Applications and Web of Devices.

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:
    Recent advances in mobile technologies are heralding new ways to provide quality patient-care, reducing time-to-bring life-saving drugs to the market and increasing the efficacy of Clinical Trials. Current mobile application trends are geared to reduce wastage and loss of life due to poor compliance. However, the lack of convenient and accessible user interfaces has been limiting the success and wide-scale adoption of these mobile applications. Several standards bodies have taken notice of this fact and the newW3C standards work on multimodal interaction will address the interactivity and accessibility needs of the young and old alike. Recent developments in context-aware user-interfaces and standards that combine touch-tap and speech have made the consumer-class of mobile devices interfaced with other measuring instruments, a viable option for high-quality medical services and are now available for remote patients and urgent cases. The Internet, World Wide Web (WWW), Mobile Devices as a global information infrastructure now offer a low cost environment for telemedicine applications. The new multimodal interfaces improve interaction with these healthcare applications make them ideal for effective collaboration in a natural way through mobile devices. In this session we will present the current standardization effort in this area,discuss the inter-operability of the multimodal healthcare applications and the new trends in health careand monitoring applications. We will also review the best practices for ensuring that these applications meet the usability and accessibility needs of patients and care-givers.
