Abstract

The challenge of designing universal access to knowledge demands considerations on multi-device interaction. A systematic review of inclusive environments built from multiple devices was conducted based on studies published during the period of 2002–2013. The search strategy combined manual and automatic searches from which 8889 studies were identified; 34 studies were found proposing software tools for building multi-device inclusive environments (0.38 % of the original sample). Thus, this study analyzes the ways academic and industrial communities have developed tools for building inclusive environments. The main findings of this review are: (1) an urgent need for the recognition of accessibility as an important non-functional requirement; (2) a need for taking into account the social conditions of users, such as illiteracy and people living in underserved communities; and (3) the identification of new research questions in the context of multi-device inclusive environments.

Terms related to the software engineering approaches (e.g. platform, “model-driven”, MDA, “software product line”, authoring, “component-based”, middleware, “service-oriented”, API) were considered during the terms definition process. However, the inclusion of such terms did not provide new results. For this reason, they were excluded.

Note that terms related to adaptation were considered in both “Multiple Devices” and “Interaction Design” because some papers presented adaptation related to “Multiple Devices” and others to “Interaction “Design”.

Although there are other common and more traditional sources to gather the paper citation, for some studies it was not possible to gather the information about citations. For this reason, it was decided to use Google Citation, as it was more precise to identify citations of the selected studies.

Regarding the number of citations, it is important to take into account the relation between the number of citations and the year of publication of the paper research.

These studies were not excluded previously because they passed on the “Studies that focus on design approaches for different users needs” criterion.
