“…The information extracted from the automatic evaluation procedure is very important because it holds the knowledge that researchers seek and the indicators regarding what is right and what is wrongly developed. By analysing the existing literature (Fernandes et al, 2012;Gonçalves, Martins, Pereira, et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2013;Martins et al, 2015), we notice that the most common format used to analyse and interpret the evaluations results are the statistical indicators, mainly gathered in tables and charts that allow not only to understand the overall results but also to quickly and easily perceive the target group tendency towards being (or not) Web accessible compliant.…”

“…As Fernandes, Costa, Duarte, and Carriço (2012) argue, a more accessible Web means that it can be used by all the users regardless of their limitations. This concept requests the absence of barriers that limit the users' interaction with the existing content, thus the mindset of a website which "excludes" users cannot be considered accessible.…”

Internet is becoming one of the most adopted technologies of all times and one of its particular uses concerns the public health issues. The search for health related information and the exchange of experiences and opinions on symptoms and treatments is one of the main activities associated with eHealth websites, hence the need for these websites to be accessible to everybody, including those with some sort of disability. Nevertheless, when assessing the level of the WCAG 2.0 compliance of Iberian eHealth websites, the results achieved during a two stage, one year apart, evaluation indicated that these websites were definitely not accessible. By adding this finding to other similar results achieved by means of similar researches we believe that a new full scope Web accessibility and usability evaluation procedure was needed and is now presented. The referred proposal aims at creating a basis for both organisations and Web developers to understand how to perform an adequate assessment of their websites.

“…Therefore, they can be accessed and used by any software platform. On the other hand, developing native mobile applications limits their use [93]. In addition, any large change occurring in that platform means that the whole application will need to be changed accordingly, which is not feasible and time consuming.…”

Smart home safety and security systems have gained much importance over the last few years owing to their notable impact in reducing and preventing losses in resources and human life caused by unwanted situations that could occur while homeowners are far away from their homes. To date, there is a lack of an in-depth literature analysis that could help researchers and developers better understand these systems and their applications in different contexts. It is therefore crucial that research evidence published in this area is presented. In this study, 63 research papers that examined smart home safety and security systems using the Arduino platform from popular literature databases were thoroughly surveyed to extract useful data. Then, the extracted data were analyzed to answer many research questions concerning state-ofthe-art applications of these systems, their architectures, their enabling technologies, their components, etc. In addition, several challenges that these systems currently face and how future research could enable better implementation and use of these systems were discussed. INDEX TERMS Arduino, smart homes, safety systems, security systems, sensors and actuators, architectures, enabling technologies.

“…The concept of cross-platform makes the development process of web applications easier rather than developing applications tied up to a specific platform. Developing applications to a specific platform limits its using in an obvious way (Fernandes, 2012). Besides, any big change occurs in that platform means the whole application has to be changed accordingly which is not feasible and time consumed.…”

Software components that rely on the Internet in order to be accessed and used cover many aspects of our daily activities including email checking, weather checking, purchase ordering, and Facebook logging. Nowadays, these components are considered one of the most valuable and fundamental rights in human’s life. However, accessing and using the functionality of such components are performed using two techniques: web applications or traditional web services. Determining which one of the techniques is better suited for delivering the functionality of an Internet-based software component is not an easy task to decide. Therefore, this paper aimed to make a comparative analysis and study of both techniques alongside many directions to help web developers make the right choice to deliver the functionality of Internet-based software components. This is achieved by providing them with a set of requirements that have been proposed by the authors. The proposed requirements clarify a number of misunderstandings and issues peculiar to both techniques. Furthermore, this paper has provided a comparative table of both techniques. To the best of our knowledge, so far there is no comprehensive comparative study has been conducted in this context which was the rationale for the authors to carry out this study.
