BEAUD: A Browser Extension to Automatize End-User Deeds

Abstract

Web Augmentation allows anyone, computer-literate or not, to adapt the content, style or behavior of any web page. Searching for information is not always an undemanding task. The information searches carried out by users cause frustration when they are carried out frequently. Even more so when the interactions accomplished are numerous or when these interactions lead to errors. In this paper, we present BEAUD, a Web Augmentation extension that allows automating the information search processes that users make on the web. This tool drastically reduces the interactions that users make to the minimum, reducing errors and frustration.
