Re: Research papers related to Challenges of Conformance

 The W3C Quality Assurance Working Group (QAWG) published several documents related to conformance.   These documents are found at:
 https://www.w3.org/QA/WG/
There was a research paper on challenges and benefits of a methodology for scoring WCAG 2.0 conformance.  The paper is available at::https://www.nist.gov/publications/challenges-and-benefits-methodology-scoring-web-content-accessibility-guidelines-wcag

While looking for another paper (Giorgio Brajnik's Barrier Walkthrough) I ran across some research papers on Conformance that I haven't looked at in a long time.  Some are related to some of the issues we are discussing in the Conformance subgroup.  
 
 
In 2011, W3C WAI hosted a Web Accessibility Metrics Symposium. The papers and slides from the presentations are still available on the W3C  WAI site.  I was particularly interested in "A Template-aware Web Accessibility metric".  
 
 
It was a good reminder that many people have been thinking deeply about conformance for a long time and we should look at their work.  I would be interested in reading newer research as well.  If anyone has links to relevant papers, please share them.
