Design is not simply skin deep, it interacts with deeper layers in software programs. And it is not just for people who point and click to use applications. It also affects people who cannot distinguish certain colours, who cannot use a mouse, who are confused by complex user interfaces, etc. What can designers and developers in open source projects do to make their software more accessible? What do they need to know about people with disabilities? What tools are available to help them? What are example projects that have worked to improve accessibility?
Universal Design Meets the Exit Sign, 31 August 2016, Universal Design Confer...Lee Wilson
This presentation was part of the Universal Design Conference at Sydney Town Hall on 30-31 August 2016.
A critical part of planning for safe evacuations is providing clear wayfinding information for all occupants, with appropriate exit and emergency signage. This is currently not the case in Australia or overseas. In fact, the current approach to providing exit signs is very limited and does not consider the abilities or needs of all members of society. This can cause some people to experience confusion, or delays, or being directed to a non-accessible evacuation path during their evacuation. The initiative presents a solution to bridge this gap in current exit sign requirements and to help identify important accessible features that can be provided as part of enhanced evacuation strategies. This includes suitable signage to show accessible exit paths, safe refuge areas, emergency evacuation lifts and other evacuation devices in a consistent approach. This paper will present the case to support the use of these enhanced emergency and exit sign systems that adopt universal design principles. This approach is considered world’s best practice and can help provide a much safer and more inclusive built environment for everyone. ‘Universal Design Meets the Exit Sign’ is an initiative of ‘The Accessible Exit Sign Project.’ The Project is an international awareness campaign that promotes the need for an accessible evacuation route from all workplaces, public buildings, and transportation.
Chaos Theory: How Real-Time Data is Making Analytics and Product Design Obsol...Oxford Tech + UX
Beverly May, Executive Director of the UX Awards, presented the Chaos Theory: How Real-Time Data is Making Analytics and Product Design Obsolete during the DAA New York Symposium on May 7, 2015.
Today’s digital services deliver chaos. They are rendered in real-time and completely customized for each user. Every person has a unique Facebook profile, feed, list of friends and configuration of their privacy settings, apps and plugins. Every user has a flights search result based on browser and cookie settings, search destinations, date and time of day, preferred airlines and their geographic location, that determines exactly what offers they do (and don’t) see and how they change over time. Every person performing a Google search will see different results based on device, browser, profile, location, demographics and even their credit history.
Not only is the data and content that each user sees almost completely unpredictable; so is the design. Google’s Material Design, true responsive design and the card-based approach to modern UX means each person’s interface and experience also cannot be controlled. Enter into the equation the coming wave of natural user interfaces through gesture, eye tracking, brain sensing, and text-to speech, as well as the rise of machine learning and AI, and the level of data and product design complexity becomes infinite.
This engineered chaos not only cannot be properly measured, it also cannot be designed. Systems cannot be “designed” or measured, because the exact customer experience of any one user simply cannot be predicted. Rather, design and analytics have become the creation of holistic rules and preferences in the hopes of controlling and then documenting the chaos some of the time.
The result? What we have now is true Chaos Theory in digital services in which when a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil, it can indeed cause a tornado in Texas. In short, many digital services are becoming cyborgs: living, organic, and highly complex digital ecosystems. We have only just begun to glimpse meaning of the impossibility of data analytics and design, let alone the impact on our human-digital future that is unfolding.

Making the invisible visible. Managing the digital footprint of development p...UNDP Eurasia
Thanks to new technologies, now accessible also in remote places, development work - and development workers - have an increasing digital footprint. Quite litterally, what was invisible can now become visible, with major implications for aid effectiveness, transparency and fundraising. Being able to manage such footprint effectively and analyse it to identify emerging trends is going to be a differentiating skill in the Development 2.0 world. This presentations illustrates some key concepts, examples and tools that development organisations can use ti analyse and manager their digital footprint.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.

One of the groups I represent is Liberté #0 / Freedom #0, a fairly young association that promotes accessibility in free and open source software. The association’s wiki is available at http://liberte0.org/wiki/. The wiki is currently in French only, but there is also an English mailing list at http://sympa.liberte0.org/sympa/info/tech.
I also represent the European project Cloud4all, which is one of the projects that is contributing to the Global Public Inclusive Infrastructure or GPII. One of the goals of GPII is to make user interfaces adapt to the needs and preferences of the user. (More about this will be said in the second half of this presentation.)
Accessibility is usually defined as the extent to which products, devices, services or environments can be used by people with disabilities. Persons with disabilities are often seen as a niche market. Looking at a few statistics may confirm this idea …
Roughly 0.4% of the population is blind.
(Blind persons can use a screen reader to access a computer. A screen reader attempts to identify and interpret what is visible on the screen and output it as Braille or synthetic speech. The image shows a laptop resting on a Braille display. Braille displays are very expensive devices and not every blind person knows Braille, so many people simply use synthetic speech instead of Braille.)
Roughly 0.1% of the population is deaf.
(The screenshot show SignLinkStudio, a tool for signlinking, i.e. adding links directly into sign videos on the Web. See http://www.signlinkstudio.com/. People who were born deaf typically use a sign language as their native language.)
Image source:

Roughly 0.1% of the population cannot use their fingers. This can have a variety of reasons, such as missing limbs, extreme tremor, quadriplegia, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis (MS) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has been paralysed by ALS. A recent article in Wired describes his assistive technologies: he uses an on-screen keyboard, word predction software and a “cheek switch”.
See “Giving Stephen Hawking a Voice”, Wired, 2 Dec. 2014.

60 or 65 years of age may seem a long time in the future for many of us, but we will reach that age and by likely to be faced with one or more of the impairments on the previous slides. For this reason, practicing accessible design is also designing for our future selves.
Accessibility can be thought of as the outcome of several steps or components as defined in the Open Accessibility Framework (OAF). The concept of the OAF was formulated by Peter Korn during the AEGIS project (2008-2012, http://www.aegis-project.eu/).

The “creation” steps describe the necessary precursors and building blocks to enable developers to create accessible applications and products. They are:
Define what “accessible” means for the platform: It must be clear what is meant by “accessible” because this will differ according to the modality and capabilities of each platform. The definition may include accessibility features such as tabbing navigation, theming, and an accessibility API.
Provide accessible stock user interface elements: Pre-built “stock” user interface elements, used by application developers and authoring tools, must be implemented to make use of the accessibility features of the platform.
Provide authoring tools that support accessibility: The tools used by application developers and content authors must be implemented to encourage use of the accessibility features of the platform. This may include features such as encouraging the use of accessible stock user interface elements, prompting for information required to properly implement an accessibility API, and accessibility evaluation and repair tools.

The “use” steps describe what is necessary in the computing environment in which these accessible applications will run. They are:
Provide platform support: Computing platforms must properly implement the accessibility features that are specified in their accessibility definition. For example, the accessibility API definitions must, in fact, be implemented correctly in the program code.
Provide accessible application software: Accessible applications must actually be available for the platform. These applications must support the accessibility features of the platform. This may have been achieved using the accessible stock elements and authoring tools that support accessibility.
Provide assistive technologies: Assistive technologies (e.g. screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice input, adapted keyboards) must actually be available for the platform.
