Third International Workshop on Web Usability and Accessibility (IWWUA)
Workshop Call for Papers

Following up the tradition established in the last two years, IWWUA is aimed at bringing together researchers and professionals interested in discussing recent trends and perspectives in Web usability and accessibility. In particular, one of the goals of this year’s edition will be to deepen the issues related to the usability and accessibility of modern Web 2.0 applications. Contributions focusing on Web 2.0 applications are especially encouraged. However, papers addressing more traditional Web domains are also welcome.
IWWUA will discuss and classify the existing research works, to identify gaps in the existing evaluation practices which can lead to topics for further research. An issue of particular importance is when and how usability should be integrated into a well-defined Web development process. We therefore look for contributions that discuss not only technical and theoretical aspects, but also methodological and practical issues.
