摘要
我很高兴地介绍三篇文章,它们是在第22届国际ACM SIGACCESS计算机和可访问性会议(ASSETS ' 21)上发表的会议论文的扩展版本。被接受的论文全文的作者被邀请提交一份扩展版本的提案提交给TACCESS,其中一个子集提交了一份手稿供审议。所有提交的论文都经过了ACM可访问计算汇刊(TACCESS)的全面审查过程。本期的客座编辑是jo o Guerreiro(葡萄牙里斯本大学LASIGE)。特邀编辑感谢作者们出色的投稿,也感谢所有在此过程中贡献时间和专业知识的期刊审稿人。第一篇文章,“教有智力和发育障碍的成年人抵抗虐待的应用程序的设计和原型”介绍了recognition的设计和原型,这是一款让有智力和发育障碍的成年人独立学习虐待的应用程序。研究结果表明,识别是一种可行的解决方案,作者讨论了未来版本的识别或类似应用程序部署的含义。第二篇文章“了解屏幕阅读器插件的用法、生命周期和机会”调查了屏幕阅读器插件的用法,重点介绍了为什么使用这些插件以及如何使用这些插件。研究结果展示了使用插件的各种原因,以及挑战和机遇——例如,作者推荐基于插件的发行模型,受益于社区驱动的存储库。第三篇文章“Alt文本是如何制作的:Alt文本创作的角色和过程可以教会我们关于包容性图像”,展示了对一家公司图像可访问性生产实践的研究。这些发现提供了对四种不同类型的替代文本生产过程的见解。作者讨论了其对未来研究和生产过程变化的影响。
I am pleased to present three articles that are extended versions of conference papers presented at the 22nd International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS’21). Authors of accepted full papers were invited to submit a proposal of an extended version to be submitted to TACCESS, of which a subset submitted a manuscript for consideration. All papers submitted underwent a full review process for ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing (TACCESS). The guest editor for this issue is João Guerreiro (LASIGE, University of Lisbon, Portugal). The guest editor thanks the authors for their excellent submissions and also thanks all of the journal reviewers who contributed their time and expertise to this process. The first article, “The Design and Prototyping of an App to Teach Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to Empower Them Against Abuse” presents the design and prototyping of Recognize, an app that empowers adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to independently learn about abuse. The findings suggest Recognize as a viable solution, and the authors discuss the implications for the deployment of future versions of Recognize or similar applications. The second article, “Understanding the Usages, Life-Cycle, and Opportunities of Screen Readers’ Plugins” investigates the usage of screen reader plugins, focusing on why and how these plugins are used. The findings showcase a variety of reasons for using plugins, as well as challenges and opportunities – e.g., the authors recommend a plugin-based distribution model, benefiting from a community-driven repository. The third article, “How the Alt Text Gets Made: What Roles and Processes of Alt Text Creation Can Teach Us About Inclusive Imagery” presents a study of image accessibility production practices in a company. The findings provide insights into four different types of alt-text production processes. The authors discuss its implications for future research and changes to production processes.
期刊介绍:
Computer and information technologies have re-designed the way modern society operates. Their widespread use poses both opportunities and challenges for people who experience various disabilities including age-related disabilities. That is, while there are new avenues to assist individuals with disabilities and provide tools and resources to alleviate the traditional barriers encountered by these individuals, in many cases the technology itself presents barriers to use. ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing (TACCESS) is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that publishes refereed articles addressing issues of computing that seek to address barriers to access, either creating new solutions or providing for the more inclusive design of technology to provide access for individuals with diverse abilities. The journal provides a technical forum for disseminating innovative research that covers either applications of computing and information technologies to provide assistive systems or inclusive technologies for individuals with disabilities. Some examples are web accessibility for those with visual impairments and blindness as well as web search explorations for those with limited cognitive abilities, technologies to address stroke rehabilitation or dementia care, language support systems deaf signers or those with limited language abilities, and input systems for individuals with limited ability to control traditional mouse and keyboard systems. The journal is of particular interest to SIGACCESS members and delegates to its affiliated conference (i.e., ASSETS) as well as other international accessibility conferences. It serves as a forum for discussions and information exchange between researchers, clinicians, and educators; including rehabilitation personnel who administer assistive technologies; and policy makers concerned with equitable access to information technologies.
