DISABILITY AND DIGITAL DIVIDE: BRIDGING THE GAP THROUGH ARCHIMATE APPROACH

Abstract

Person with disability and older people need assistance in activities of daily living (ADL). Numerous models exist to view disability with a distinct perspective and provide/propose solution to address the effects and consequences caused by disability and limitation as a result of old age. Present study proposed and evaluated technological model of disability built on a famous enterprise architecture framework ArchiMate. Seamless integration of computing technology into environmental objects made it possible to construct a context-aware, pervasive computing environment that transforms itself according to the need of users by dynamically detecting the current user based on location-aware services. The proposed technological model of disability aligned the technological advancement with the disability rights law.
