PROCEEDINGS OF THE 3RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR ENHANCING ACCESSIBILITY AND FIGHTING INFO-EXCLUSION (DSAI 2010)
Abstract
Web accessibility presents itself as one the most important factors for the equality of societies in the modern days. This document is a simple and clear snapshot of the accessibility status of the websites of the Banks with activity in Portugal. Economic activities are part of everyday life since always. The banking sector has a large dimension for a long time, and has been doing a major contribution to economic growth in Portugal. We present an evaluation of the Portuguese banks websites against W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. The results that were obtained show a severe lack of accessibility in the evaluated websites, what can be translated in the existence of a great number of barriers to all citizens that present some sort of disability.

WEBIST 2010: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 6TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WEB INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY, VOL 2
Abstract
Web accessibility is growing in importance as each day goes by. Alongside with this growth, also the need of access to web resources, by those with some sort of disability, is increasing. The web is very important for spreading information and for the interaction between the various society elements. Given this, it's mandatory that the web presents itself as a totally accessible resource, so that it can help the disable citizens in their integration within the society. This obligation should be even bigger for the enterprises because, in their majority, the web is used as a marketing and business platform. This document is meant to be a position paper regarding the comparison of results between web accessibility evaluations of the Portuguese websites using version 1 and version 2 of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

ICEIS 2010: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 12TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, VOL 5: HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION
Abstract
The Internet is extremely important for the publishing of information and for the interaction between the society elements. Due to this, it's essential that the web presents itself accessible to all, including those with any kind of disability. An accessible web may help the handicapped citizens interact with the society in a more active way. This paper presents a study made with a universe of 777 Portuguese biggest enterprises, using a W3C referenced tool (SortSite), and presents some statistical results according to the Portuguese Classification of the Enterprises Activities. The achieved results present a serious troubled reality that's preventing the disabled citizens from having the same access rights to the World Wide Web as the "non-disabled" citizens.

Abstract
On this paper we proceed to the analysis of the means of obtaining customer feedback through the Internet. Keeping demanding customers as well as attract new ones, has always been a major concern for the majority of the companies. Knowing what customers think is an important part of developing products and services, and differentiating factor against the competition. Obtaining customer feedback through the Internet can be considered more cost efficient and accessible, when compared to more traditional means. This work results from a study that identified the means of obtaining customer feedback, on the websites of the Portuguese companies with the biggest business volume.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES
Abstract
The Internet and specially the Web 2.0, when combined with the organizations business processes and used in their e-business initiatives, may bring an enormous set of competitive advantages. Despite the slow pass at which the organizations are incorporating Web 2.0 in their business initiatives, these actions are still being made without following any methodology or set of guidelines, thus resulting in inconstant return of investment. With this in mind, we present a project that, by analyzing and studying several case studies, aims on achieving a methodology or a set of guidelines that allow organizations to better plan and execute their Web 2.0 business initiatives.
