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.
