abstract     = {A web browser provides a uniform user interface to different types of information. Making this interface
 universally accessible and more interactive is a long term goal still far from being achieved. Universally accessible browsers
 require novel interaction modalities and additional functionalities, for which existing browsers tend to provide only partial
 solutions. Although functionality for web accessibility can be found as open-source and free software components, their
 reuse and integration is complex because they were developed in diverse implementation environments, following standards
 and conventions incompatible with the web. To enable the integration of existing partial solutions within a mainstream web
 browser environment, we have developed a middleware infrastructure, AMICO:WEB. This enables browser access to a wide variety
 of open source and free software components. The main contribution of AMICO:WEB is in enabling the syntactic interoperability
 between web extension mechanisms and a variety of integration mechanisms used by open-source and free software components.
 It also bridges the semantic differences between the high-level world of web XML-based APIs and the low-level APIs of the
 device-oriented world. We discuss the design decisions made during the development of AMICO:WEB in the context of web accessibility,
 using two typical usage scenarios: one describing a disabled user using a mainstream web browser with additional interaction
 modalities; another describing a non-disabled user browsing in a suboptimal interaction situation.},
