Tang, Lisa and Carter, Jim A. (2011): Communicating Image Content. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 55th Annual Meeting 2011. pp. 495-499.

While a picture is worth a thousand words, do you know what those words are communicating? The Internet is filled with visual graphics to present information, complement textual content, and/or add visual appeal. What happens if you or the user cannot see the images or visual content? How will you get the same information? Although containers for providing textual information (known as alternative text) for images already exist, most web pages do not utilize them. Even when alternative text is available, the descriptions are often vague and uninformative. This paper reports on activities to provide guidance, a procedure for describing images, and a tool to support the creation of informative alternative text for all types of images. Evaluations of the procedure and tool confirm the promise of this approach, and have identified several improvements to increase usability.

Carter, Jim A. and Fourne, David W. (2007): Techniques to assist in developing accessibility engineers. In: Ninth Annual ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies 2007. pp. 123-130.

This paper describes techniques used in a recent computer science course designed to develop accessibility engineers. It provides sufficient detail for other instructors to replicate the highly successful experience that resulted. It also discuses a number of results of the course that act as indicators of its success.

Carter, Jim A. (1992): Managing: To Succeed with Rapid Prototyping. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 404-408.

Rapid prototyping is a powerful tool both for analyzing user requirements and for involving the users in the design of suitable user interfaces. With it, the analysts/designers have users focus on frequent presentations of incomplete prototypes in order to get realistic expressions of the users' needs and wants. If not properly managed, these presentations may miss their objectives and either become high pressure sales pitches for designs or endless cycles of minor changes. Suitable management methods are required to ensure that the use of prototyping provides its expected benefits. The process oriented nature of prototyping requires some different management techniques from those used to manage more traditional and artifact oriented analysis and design activities.

Carter, Jim A. (1992): Standards, the Future, and Designers. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 448-452.

This paper explores the growing relationship between HCI developers and HCI standards. It includes a comprehensive background of WHO (more than just users and developers), WHAT (there are standards and then there are Standards), WHERE (a variety of HCI standards are coming from a variety of groups), WHEN (standard development takes time), WHY (standards are inevitable). It then discusses HOW these standards will effect HCI developers and in particular the HCI design process and compliance with HCI standards. It concludes with agendas of standard related activities both for HCI standardizers and for HCI development organizations.
