Abstract

Accessibility in Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) is still far from reality for most of the Web applications currently available. Some factors that influence this scenario are the novelty of research and products for developing RIAs, and the challenging activity of identifying and involving representatives of RIAs target people. Aiming at clarifying the state-of-the-art of this research topic we conducted a Systematic Literature Review of studies addressing accessibility and awareness of others in RIAs. This paper presents our findings related to the overall contributions of the reviewed studies and analyzes the target people and the methods employed for involving them in the research lifecycle.
