W3C Invites Implementations of Indexed Database API
04 July 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9882
The Web Applications Working Group invites implementation of
the Candidate Recommendation of "Indexed Database API." This
document defines APIs for a database of records holding simple
values and hierarchical objects. Each record consists of a key
and some value. Moreover, the database maintains indexes over
records it stores. An application developer directly uses an
API to locate records either by their key or by using an index.
A query language can be layered on this API. An indexed
database can be implemented using a persistent B-tree data
structure. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Easy Checks - A First Review of Web Accessibility Draft Updated
02 July 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9881
The Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) invites
comments on the updated draft of Easy Checks - A First Review
of Web Accessibility, which has new sections on Forms and Plain
Content View. Easy Checks helps you assess if a Web page
addresses accessibility. It provides simple steps for anyone
who can use the Web; no accessibility knowledge or skill is
required. The checks cover just a few accessibility issues and
are designed to be quick and easy, rather than definitive.

Online Symposium: User Modeling for Accessibility
02 July 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9880
Registration is now open for the online symposium on User
Modeling for Accessibility to be held on 15 July 2013.
Researchers, practitioners, designers, application developers,
users with disabilities, and others are invited to participate.
The symposium will analyze different methods and
implementations of user modeling and their potential usage for
improving accessibility. This includes the design, creation,
storage, and usage of user models, in particular in web
browsers, applications, authoring tools, and other aspects of
the Web. For details and registration, see User Modeling for
Accessibility - Online Symposium. Learn more about the Web
Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Report: Current State and Roadmap of Standards for Web Applications
on Mobile
02 July 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9879
[] W3C has published a new edition of Standards for Web
Applications on Mobile, an overview of the various technologies
developed in W3C that increase the power of Web applications,
particularly in the mobile context.

http://www.w3.org/2013/06/mobile-web-app-state/
A deliverable of the webinos project, this edition highlights
some of the HTML 5.1 features that are most relevant on mobile,
integrates more specs from the SysApps Working Group. It also
features a printer-friendly PDF version, and makes it easier to
contribute to test suites via github.

Workshops

Get Smart: Smart Homes, Cars, Devices and the Web -
Workshop on Rich Multimodal Application Development
http://www.w3.org/2013/07/mmi/
New York Metropolitan Area, US
Hosted by Openstream
HTML5 has paved the way for development of rich web
applications and has been widely adopted by application
developers. Ease of user-interaction (user experience) with
applications has become a prime focus world-wide, thanks to
the proliferation of new devices and platforms including
mobile phones, tablet devices, eBook readers, and gaming
platforms. In addition, traditional platforms such as TV's,
sudio systems, and automobiles are rapidly becoming capable
of much more intelligent interaction than in the past.
User-interaction through speech, touch, gesture and swipe
has become the key differentiator in the success of popular
applications today. One of the key advantages of the W3C
Multimodal Architecture (MMI) is its suitability for simple
to sophisticated applications across devices in creating
compelling user experiences, leveraging advances in i/o
methodologies, and supporting inter-operability among
multiple vendors' products.
