Conflict Management in Multi-user Applications for People with Disabilities

Published: 07 May 2016 Publication History

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of personalizing user interfaces to individual needs and preferences of multiple users regarding accessibility. We present a study on conflicting configuration policies that need to be detected and resolved when devices and user interfaces are automatically adapted to multiple users to enable cooperative usage. 6 resolution strategies for setting conflicts are proposed and a validation with experts is described.
