ERCIM Workshop on "User Interfaces for All" Dr. Constantine Stephanidis Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas Institute of Computer Science Rehabilitation Tele-lnformatics and Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory Science and Technology Park of Crete, P.O. Box 1385, GR-71110 Heraklion, Crete, Greece The proliferation of computer-based systems and applications in every walk of life and the anticipated widespread use of emerging telematic services has introduced new dimensions to the issue of human-machine interaction, necessitating the design of high quality user interfaces accessible and usable by a diverse user population with different abilities, requirements and preferences. This user population at large, includes people with different cultural, educational, training and employment background, novice and experienced computer users, the very young and the elderly and people with different types of disabilities. Thus, it has become increasingly important to design human-machine interfaces, which not only support more efficient and effective user interaction, but also address the individual end user needs, requirements, skills and expectations, while exhibiting a wide range of Intelligent and Deliberative behaviour. One of the domains of tele-informatics research and development, which has recently emerged, concerns the development of methodologies, tools, applications and services which support the socio-economic integration and independent living
