Abstract

This paper discusses aspects related to the implementation of Design for All in ICT from a developer oriented perspective. In order to illustrate and exemplify the concepts, the discussion refers to characteristics implemented in the web site of the Italian EDeAN network. The paper proposes adaptation capable platforms as a possible organic solution for instantiating Design for All principles. It presents a modular platform that makes it possible to build services of various types, with focus on its adaptation framework. The platform is inspired by Design for All principles in that it is intended to give support, from the design time on, to a wide range of mobile and wired communication devices, a variety of user characteristics, preferences, and contexts.
