Interests
Dr. Simon Harper's research interests include investigating ways of augmenting Web accessibility using hypermedia and document engineering techniques in combination with semantics and transcoding. His primary research interest lies at the intersection between information and users; and addresses the problems inherent in accessing large, heterogeneous, non-linear information sources with limited, or no, vision.
Current projects
RIAM: Reciprocal Interoperability between the Accessible and Mobile Webs
