... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.

Biswas, Pradipta, Langdon, Pat, Jung, Christoph, Hamisu, Pascal, Duarte, Carlos and Almeida, Luís (2012): Developing intelligent user interfaces for e-accessibility and e-inclusion. In: Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces 2012. pp. 405-408.

This workshop aims to gap the bridge between mainstream research on intelligent systems and accessibility researchers by presenting papers and demonstrations on developing adaptable multimodal systems for elderly and disabled users. The workshop is organized in the context of EU GUIDE project and focus on Web and Digital TV applications. However the research and applications are relevant for different platforms like computers, tablet and ubiquitous devices. The workshop consists of a keynote speech on standardization of developing intelligent and accessible system followed by five paper and demonstration presentations. A set of papers from this workshop will later appear at the International Journal of Digital Television.

Biswas, Pradipta and Langdon, Pat (2011): The effect of hand strength on pointing performance of users for different input devices. In: Thirteenth Annual ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Assistive Technologies 2011. pp. 289-290.

We have investigated how hand strength affects pointing performance of people with and without mobility impairment in graphical user interfaces for four different input modalities. We have found that grip strength and active range of motion of wrist are most indicative of the pointing performance. We have used the study to develop a set of linear equations to predict pointing time for different devices.

Wilkinson, Christopher, Langdon, Pat and Clarkson, John (2010): Observing learning and conceptual development through novel product interaction. In: Proceedings of the HCI10 Conference on People and Computers XXIV 2010. pp. 328-336.

Improving product usability through inclusive design consideration can enhance a products potential commercial success, whilst widening it's acceptability across an increasingly divergent market. An experimental approach was developed to encapsulate how individuals perceive, process and respond to stimuli during interaction with products. By presenting a sample of participants with a novel product, we are able to assess how their understanding and internal conceptualisations are developed during increasing product exposure, and indicate how product design can have a significant impact upon these processes. Participants were recorded interacting with the novel product whilst providing concurrent protocol and information elicited regarding the development of internal representations. The extent of participants' technological familiarity was also investigated to determine how prior experience may assist novel product interaction. Age related differences were evident in both approaches to problem solving and extent of technological familiarity, and this was considered to have an impact upon overall interactional performance.
