During the last years a transition from desktop computers and fixed phones to nomad devices such as mobile phones, palmtops and mobile Personal Computers has been experienced. Their market penetration is continuously increasing, mainly because they offer to their users the possibility to stay connected with their near ones and with the world whenever and wherever possible. The technological development of the aforementioned nomad devices provides not only the chance but the need to explore these systems in order to provide computer-based interactive applications and services accessible to the broadest possible population. At the same time, this development must also cope with diversity of the end users, the access media and devices, as well as in the contexts of use. The adaptation of nomad devices, applications and services, for the benefit of people with disability and of the elderly is especially challenging. This is because it requires a revision of the traditionally prevailing Human Computer Interaction (HCI) assumptions, such as that of designing for a non-disabled user in a desktop environment. ASK-IT1 (Ambient Intelligence Systems of Agents for Knowledge Based and Integrated Services for Mobility Impaired People) is a European Integrated Project (IST-2003-511298) within the IST 6th Framework Program in the e-Inclusion area. The driving vision behind the project is to develop services based on Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that allow mobility impaired people to move independently, live a quality life, and as a result, establish and secure economic and social inclusion. These services include the provision of relevant and real-time information, primarily for travelling, but also for use at home and at work. Nomad devices allow content access at any time, at any place, and across multiple networks. These devices combined with the ASK-IT platform aim at covering a wide range of the mobility impaired users personal needs (Gardner, 2006). ASK-IT provides applications and services in five main areas: (i) transportation, tourism and leisure; (ii) personal support; (iii) work; (iv) business and education support; and (v) social relations and community building (ASK-IT, 2004).
