Don't Panic! How to perform an accessibility evaluation with limited resourcesMichael Ryan
Being tasked with an accessibility evaluation is can be daunting. How can you measure accessibility? What disabilities are the most important? What tools do you need? How long will it take? Where do I start? What does "accessible" even mean?
These are all questions I asked myself last year when I performed my first accessibility eval. This session will share everything I learned since then in performing three accessibility evaluations.
Presentation given by Jonathan Hassell (Head of Audience Experience & Usability) and Robin Christopherson (Head of Accessibility Services, AbilityNet) at Internet 2010, London in 2010.
Covers: how many people in the UK are still unconnected from the internet, and how 25% fewer disabled people are using the internet than the general population; what the reasons for this lag in usage by disabled people might be (and definitely are not); how use of assistive technologies in the UK is much lower than the expected percentages (from Microsoft Forrester research in 2003); how My Web My Way (bbc.co.uk/accessibility) provides information on assistive technologies and browser/OS accessibility settings to help disabled people; how website personalisation technologies can help all users (no matter how contradictory their needs) get a better user-experience; how the BBC ATK is aiming to provide these features on bbc.co.uk

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

On the internet, no-one knows you’re
a dog
On the internet, no-one knows you
have a disability
4. “The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by
everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect. “
Tim Berners-Lee,
W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web
• The web is fundamentally designed to work for all people,
whatever their hardware, software, language, location, or
ability.
• When the web meets this goal, it is accessible to people with
a diverse range of hearing, movement, sight, and cognitive
ability.

12. Advantages of a Digital Identity
People with disability may
• have limited mobility
• have difficulty with transportation
• find the physical world cognitively challenging
• have communications difficulties
• experience memory difficulties with PINs and passwords
14. But biometrics are not always usable …
A range of physiological and medical factors can affect the usability
and efficiency of biometrics
• Visual impairments
• Language impairments
• Hearing impairments
• Physical impairments
• Ageing
• Accidents
• Hard labour
15. Choice is the key
• Not everyone can manage digital
• People should be able to manage their own identity data
• People should be able to choose what attributes they reveal
to whom
• Some people will need a third party to act on their behalf
18. • User research
• Design
• Mockups
• Content
• Development
• Maintenance
https://bit.ly/2Mp0Ras
When to include
people with disability
19. • Applying for a digital
identity
• Managing the data
associated with that
identity
• Accessing services
Services that utilise digital identity
… must be accessible!

just the beginning. It is
usability that makes
the difference.’

Editor's Notes
Intopia – largest and most experienced digital accessibility consultancy in AU
Andrew – around 20 years in this field after starting to work with the web back in 1994
Dave Birch reminded us of the 1993 cartoon form the NY Times yesterday (I still have the sticker)
Sometimes you may want to have your disability as an attribute of your identity, eg when booking theatre tickets, revealing you’re in a wheelchair should means you get an accessible location
The impact of disability is radically changed on the Web because the Web removes barriers to communication and interaction that many people face in the physical world.
However, when websites, applications, technologies, or tools are badly designed, they can create barriers that exclude people from using the Web.
One group left out – who knows?

Speech disabilities
Blind people can have problems due to their natural difficulty to align their eyes with the camera;
A similar case is that of people with pronounced nystagmus (tremor of the eyes)
Speech and language disabilities include functional limitations in comprehension and expression, voice response rate, quality of voice and fluency, and stuttering, which may affect using voice recognition systems;
Colds and laryngitis can have a temporary affect on the voice
Speech may be affected due to loss of hearing resulting
Conditions such as arthritis may affect usability (it may be difficult to position the finger and/or hand correctly);
Skin conditions such as eczema may cause blistering on the fingertips;
Any kind of surgery that significantly changes the structure of the face will require an individual to re-enrol;
Cuts, bruises and swelling can have a temporary affect on face or hand images;
Inability to use hand or finger based systems due to loss of limbs and or digits;
Crutches may make it difficult to stand steadily;
Drooping eyelids;
Wheelchair users can face usability barriers due to the usual location of cameras and insufficient height variation possibilities;
Changes in medical condition can be faster than normal ageing effects;
Those with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, motor neurone disease etc, may have little control of their muscle movement and may find it very difficult to hold their head or fingers still long enough for a facial, iris or fingerprint recognition device.
Biometrics usually have higher failure rates with the very old. As people get older, ageing processes tend to degrade biometrics.
People carrying out construction and manual work – people working with cement and chemicals may result in the wearing down of fingerprints
