Resumen:

Usually, a huge number of tools and proposals help developers assess Accessibility of Web applications; however, looking from the designer perspective, there is no such a similar situation. It seems that creating accessible Web sites is more expensive and complicated than creating Web sites and then assessing/modifying them. Although this feeling may be largely true, the benefits of modeling Accessibility at early design stages outweigh the needs of a developer to implement that Accessibility. A designer can learn the basics of Web Accessibility and then he/she should be able to incorporate this knowledge into his/her software architecture. The point is to have an idea of how to do so from the beginning. In this paper, we briefly introduce our proposal to model Web Accessibility by moving from abstract to concrete architectural views using aspect-orientation. Our approach takes advantages of modeling Accessibility as an aspect-oriented concern, which is independently treated but related to architectural pieces. We illustrate the approach with a case study and elaborate some insights from the designer perspective.
