Abstract

The importance of industrial automation systems and Web applications, often in combination, has been a growing area during the past decades. They are becoming an inseparable part of our lives. Hence they must be accessible to all users. Often certain user groups are being neglected in the development of such systems. Therefore, a systematic concept is required to support the development of such systems. In this paper, we will present a concept, which is proposed in the context of an ongoing research project, addressing the accessibility problem of the user interface. Both, industrial automation systems and Web applications share similar accessibility requirements. Hence, our concept addresses both systems, while discussing the suited methods to effectively assess accessibility requirements.
