Abstract

EAGER is a prototype development toolkit that allows embedding accessibility and ease of use for all potential users into Web-based artefacts. Web-based user interfaces developed by means of the EAGER toolkit incarnate the concept of Unified User Interfaces and exhibit adaptation behaviour with respect to diverse user abilities, requirements and preferences. Ultimately, the process of employing EAGER is significantly less demanding in terms of time, experience and skills required from the developer, than the typical process of developing for the “average” user.
