Accessibility evaluation in Mobile Web: presentation at development-oriented forum

Dear all,

I would like you to inform you now about a presentation I am giving next
week, which is much in the line of MW4D initiative. I think you may be
interested on being informed about it, and that's why I am sending the
message mail to the MW4D list, please excuse in case you are not concerned.

I am currently a Ph.D. student at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), a
member of W3C, and I am preparing my Ph.D. dissertation on accessibility
evaluation in Mobile Web. Next week, I am attending an event called "Campus
de Excelencia 2008" (Campus of Excellence) in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands,
Spain. This forum is built as an encounter among young people and experts,
with a focus on the application of their initiatives to development. I am
invited to present the parts of my thesis related with development at poster
sessions that will be hold Mon-Fri in the afternoon. The title of the poster
is “Evaluating Accessibility and Usability of Multimodal Advanced Mobile
Services for Next Generation Networks”.

Below you may find information on my university (UPM) and on the event
(Campus of Excellence), extracted from the respective websites.

Regards,

Samuel Martín.

About Campus of Excellence ( http://www.campusdeexcelencia.org/ )

The Campus of Excellence is a unique and pioneering initiative in the world
that was conceived to provide a meeting point for brilliant young people to
present their innovative and feasible projects to the world's leaders in
scientific, cultural, political, economic and business knowledge, which
respond to the current challenges and goals we are currently facing. The
most promising students and researchers are selected from around the world.
Thanks to the Campus of Excellence, they will have the amazing opportunity
of sharing face-to-face meetings with the most prodigious thinkers today,
including a large delegation of Nobel Laureates. The incredible mixture of
freshness and creativity from Those who are going to be, coupled with the
experience and wisdom of Those who are, has transformed this fascinating
gathering into a forum where ideas, feasible projects and real opportunities
for action will emerge. This year’s Campus will focus on South-South regions
(Africa and Latin America), whose motto is "Building bridges and opening
doors". I would like to warmest welcome all those who will accompany us in
this unique space where issues of global interest will be addressed in a
free, open and respectful manner.
