Nevertheless, although there is a clear potential for emotionally-aware applications, several challenges preclude their wider availability, sometimes resulting from the low translational nature of the research in affective computing methods, and from a lack of straightforward methods for easy integration of emotion in applications. In light of these challenges, we propose a conceptual vision for the consideration of emotion in the scope of multimodal interactive systems, and how it can articulate with research in affective computing. Aligned with this vision, a first instantiation of an affective generic modality is presented, and a proof-of-concept application, enabling multimodal interaction with Spotify, illustrates how the modality can provide emotional context in interactive scenarios.","PeriodicalId":360662,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128978560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We are in the threshold of a more comprehensive approach in the ICT domain. The European Standard EN 301 549 specifies the accessibility requirements for public procurement of ICT products and services in Europe. This study focuses on the analysis of the benefits / impact, for each group of People with Special Needs (PSN), the parameters of the European Norms (EN) for ICT products and services, which support the new legislation in the domain of public acquisition for the countries of the European Union (EU), the EU Public Procurement Directive 2014/24/EU. Questions related to methodologies, techniques and tools to evaluate the parameters of these EN will be studied in the future, as well as the models for the certification of ICT products and services, with the purpose of presenting solutions. In the future, a framework will be also designed and developed with specific functionalities and being capable of assist and facilitate the evaluation of EN parameters, and consequently the certification of the ICT products and services.","PeriodicalId":360662,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126133557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The support for reading and navigating within web-based mathematical content is still limited in screen reader software, specially for languages such as Brazilian Portuguese. Lengthy and complex formulae, in particular, may demand significant effor from users who navigate only by keyboard and with linear feedback sound. Current screen readers provide limited support with semantic navigation based on content type. In this paper, we present a study involving the implementation of an initial prototype screen reader as proof-of-concept based on ChromeVox, aggregating new features for direct navigation with semantic mathematical elements, such as fractions, radicals and summation indexes. We also performed a study on the expected user effort of this approach, comparing it with the resources provided by other existing screen readers, namely JAWS, NVDA (Non-Visual Desktop Access). The estimation was performed using task models based on GOMS (Goals, Operators, Methods and Selection Rules) and KLM (Key-Level Model). The results showed that it is feasible to implement forms of navigation based on problem solving, because according to task models there was an expressive reduction in the estimated time to complete tasks.","PeriodicalId":360662,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129324603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Education centers as universities play an important role on this since their members as students or researchers may contribute to the generation of new ideas or products and consequently leading to the creation of new businesses. On the other hand, the drop out situation of students is a drawback to this purpose, due to failed careers investment that universities and national authorities face without any substantially added value. Therefore, it is intended to create an innovations' assessment methodology to guide students, with entrepreneur characteristics on their innovations, and to help them in the establishment of their educational projects or even businesses motivations. This proposed methodology provides the foundations to the development of an interactive assessment system, as a tool. This instrument intends to evaluate the innovation's ideas acceptance with the main focus of promoting knowledge transfer to facilitate effective innovative research applications testing and products creation.","PeriodicalId":360662,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130526517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This diverse nature of smart homes and buildings, in general, poses new challenges to interaction design and accessibility. To tackle them, human-building interaction needs to move from articulating different interactive artifacts towards an holistic view of the house as an interactive ecosystem. In a joint effort with Bosch Termotecnologia, S.A., and profiting from recent contributions including an architecture and framework supporting multimodal Interaction, the authors aim to explore novel ways of approaching interaction design with a smart house and proposing smart home applications for all. This paper presents the status of this ongoing work, in the scope of project Smart Green Homes, proposing how multimodal interaction can be supported in the scenario of a smart home and showing first results of tackling human-building interaction through a home assistant serving a family in their daily interactions with the house.","PeriodicalId":360662,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"352 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115979213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
