Abstract

In order to eliminate accessibility barriers that may exist in the user interface at runtime, we propose, in this paper, to integrate accessibility into an infrastructure of adaptation of User Interfaces. Hence, we propose a model driven approach which consists of generating, automatically, accessibility adapted User Interfaces. To reach this goal, based on MDA principals, we develop different meta-model transformations to provide an adapted User Interface model according to received accessibility context information and a given non adapted User Interface.
