Automatic Accessibility Evaluation of Rich Internet Apps

The Web 2.0, with its Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), exploits dynamic interactivity to provide a rich interactive environment for web users. On important common denominator is the support to user collaboration via the highly dynamic “desk-top like” generated content. Such a context makes it difficult for the designer to tackle a diversity of users, in particular in terms of accessibility issues. WAI-ARIA is a specification that focuses on accessibility issues when developing RIAs. This pa-per describes an algorithm to automatically evaluate EcmaScript code commonly deployed in RIAs, and presents a case study applied to pop-up window

User Interface Patterns on Android

The purpose of this work is to understand some existing user interface patterns and to adapt them to the constraints of mobile devices running on the Android system. We focus mainly on the Master/Detail pattern and on the surrounding patterns. The contributions are multiple: our background study consists of a brief recall of the principles of some existing user interface patterns. Based on it, we provide an adapted version of each pattern targeted to mobile phones through a framework called MandroiD. We will also present a basic case study application that takes advantage of the framework. This application is developed with Android guidelines in mind. Indeed, one of our goals is to provide the reader with some knowledge about Android applications development. A statistical analysis is conducted on the developed mini-application. It consists of an evaluation of the interface by various users
