In recent years, the field of Universal Access has made significant
progress in consolidating theoretical approaches, scientific
methods and technologies, as well as in exploring new application
domains. Increasingly, professionals in this rapidly maturing area
require a comprehensive and multidisciplinary resource that
addresses current principles, methods, and tools. Written by
leading international authorities from academic, research, and
industrial organizations and nonmarket institutions, The Universal
Access Handbook covers the unfolding scientific, methodological,
technological, and policy issues involved in the process of
achieving universal access in the information society. In a
collection of 61 chapters, the book discusses how to systematically
apply universal design principles to information technologies. It
explains the various dimensions of diversity in the technological
platforms and contexts of use, including trends in mobile
interaction and ambient intelligence environments. The implications
of Universal Access on the development life cycle of interactive
applications and services are unfolded, addressing user interface
architectures and related components. Novel interaction methods and
techniques for Universal Access are analyzed, and a variety of
applications in diverse domains are discussed. The book reflects
recent developments, consolidates present knowledge, and points
towards new perspectives for the future. A quick glance through the
contents demonstrates not only the breadth and depth of coverage
but also the caliber of the contributions. An indispensible source
of information for interdisciplinary and cross-thematic study, the
book provides a baseline for further in-depth studies, as well as
an important educational tool in an increasingly globalized
research and development environment.
