Proposed Group: Ubiquitous Application Design Community Group

The Ubiquitous Application Design Community Group has been proposed by Dave Raggett:

People are looking to use applications and services on an ubiquitous range of devices. For developers, this raises the challenge of tailoring the user experience according to the device and context in which it is used. Application development teams involve a wide range of roles and skills: business requirements, data models and interfaces, usability and accessibility, graphical design and brand management, as well as the expertise required for specific target platforms. This Community Group seeks to bring together developers and researchers to explore and promote techniques for context aware design that separates out different aspects of design to speed development and reduce costs. We will do this through gathering and discussing techniques, together with developing open source demonstrators.

You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work.

In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
