How cloud computing can support on-demand assistive services

Abstract: This paper investigates how Cloud computing can meet the demands of people with disabilities who occasionally use a shared computer. In this situation, customized assistive software can not be available to the user since security policies prevent from having enough privileges to change local system preferences. In order to address such issue, we discuss an open source software architecture combining a webbased remote desktop management solution with virtualization technology. This system allows disabled users … Show more

“…Most security and virtualization studies involved other common hypervisors, like KVM or Xen. Instead, besides a few performance analysis, we was able to find only a single work involving VirtualBox for its implementation [35]. In the development of HyBIS, VirtualBox resulted as a great tool to be employed for our project.…”

“…Using cloudbased accessibility-enabled computing system, a user can log into their cloud profile and interact with an interface that is automatically adjusted to his or her needs (as specified in that particular user's N&P set). Settings of N&P sets fall under display, control, or content categories, and include visual, auditory, and physical interaction features such as font size, background color, speech rate, sticky keys, 5 and automatic scanning 6 [10].…”

“…Additionally, many of these polling places have a limited number of accessible voting machines -which are not capable of being fully customized to meet the wide variety of voters' needs. 4 The use of mobile devices and cloud-based accessibility during the voting process would yield a more flexible experience for voters for various reasons. The most obvious benefit is that the use of mobile devices allows voters to mark their ballot anywhere, reducing the time required to be physically present at the polling place.…”

“…Therefore, people can have the experience of personalized accessibility on any public computer, including a mobile device, as if it were their own. As the technology for this cloud-based accessibility grows, research is being conducted to evaluate its applicability in various domains [2][3][4][5].…”
