Web Accessibility In Advanced Technologies Introduction To The Special Thematic Session

The Web is rapidly evolving and converging with other media and technologies. Today the Web is on mobile devices, televisions, self-service terminals, and computer desktops. It is continuing to be increasingly ubiquitous and indistinguishable from other interfaces and became an ambient part of our daily lives, particularly with the advancement of "the cloud".
