The wide scale participation of citizens, regardless of special needs or impairments, in the Information Society depends heavily upon designing multimodal means of access and enabling services to adapt modalities to user preferences. IT industry needs to be provided with ready to use tools to include adaptive and multimodal functionality. Currently, work on guidelines and standards for enrolment and accessibility of Internet services has identified recommendations to compensate for impairments, much of which has yet to be implemented.
The objectives of IRIS are to
Encapsulate into a design aid environment work on design-for-all tools and methods; user modelling theories and methods including users with special needs; guidelines, recommendations and results from work about hypermedia, enrolment and accessibility, and
Use this environment to redesign and enhance Internet services in the areas of teleworking online learning and e-commerce, guided by rigorous user testing and evaluation.
