Computer Science and Engineering Distinguished Lecturer Series: The Web the Way You Want It

	The decentralized architecture of the web was designed from the outset to create an environment where content producers and consumers could come together without the need for everyone to use the same server and client. To participate in the web revolution, users only needed to subscribe to the basic architecture of a web of content delivered via HTTP and addressable via URLs. Given this architecture, specialized browsers have always existed to a greater or lesser degree alongside mainstream web browsers. This talk will highlight specialized browsers in the context of accessibility; for use in mobile environments, or for use by persons with specific needs. As we evolve from the purely presentational web to a more data-oriented web, such specialized tools become center-stage with respect to providing optimal information access to the end-user. The talk will conclude with a brief overview of where such web technologies are headed and what this means to the future of making web content accessible to all.
