Description

WUAnet is an initiative started with the aim of providing Usability and Accessibility solutions to the industry coming from the Web Engineering field. The main research focus is to ensure usability and accessibility into Web development processes. This leads us to identify and understand the user needs and plan for how to integrate those needs into the Web development process. This will be achieved by assessing the effectiveness of existing approaches for Web usability and accessibility evaluation. These include, but are not limited to: review guidelines, usability models, usability/accessibility standards, usability evaluation methods, usability checkers, accessibility verifiers, logging tools, automatic metric capture tools, etc. An issue of particular importance is when and how the usability/accessibility problems should be fixed. This will contribute to the creation of a body of knowledge about usability and accessibility in Web Engineering. Our ultimate goal is to transfer this knowledge to the Web development industry.
