RE: "reliability" of IoT/WoT

To Shadi

That's a really good point. In the current APA WoT wiki I think this point is made in passing but it'd be great to put it into a specific top-level requirement.

Subject: "reliability" of IoT/WoT

Hi all,

In December I had the honor of being on a panel with Vint Cerf where we discussed IoT accessibility. He raised the aspect of "reliability" for people with disabilities. That is, people with disabilities may need to depend to a higher degree on IoT systems and applications, so that the failure of these would potentially result in higher disadvantaging of people with disabilities. I think "reliability" should be added to our list of accessibility concerns for WoT (besides interoperability and security etc).

Here is a summary of this panel discussion:

Best,
