Tools and Applications for Cognitive Accessibility

Hi All,

I have another article (book chapter) that examines and evaluates our work. It focuses on personalization. "Tools and Applications for Cognitive Accessibility<https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4471-7440-0_28>". I can share the PDF with anyone who is interested in reading the article. I received permission from the great folks at EasyReading.EU<https://www.easyreading.eu/> to share it with you.

Abstract
Cognitive Accessibility is an important aspect of Web accessibility addressing a considerably large number of users and showing a high impact on general usability. Cognitive accessibility has been on the agenda in Web accessibility since its beginning but the body of R&D is much smaller and also guidelines, standards, techniques, and tools are vaguer as well as addressed at a lower priority. The recent focus on cognitive accessibility in W3C/WAI changes the situation. This chapter discusses the state of the art and the different domains, where R&D is needed for guidelines and standards, inclusion and participation of end users, take-up of the digital potential in service provision and new tool development based on user tracking/understanding and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We conclude by proposing a new concept of user involvement and a framework for R&D supporting the integration of profiling, annotating, adapting and translating content for personalized Cognitive Accessibility and using/adapting proven and stable HCI concepts.
