CALL FOR PAPERS
People with disabilities can use Computer and Information Technologies to
overcome barriers encountered in day-to-day life, and to participate more
fully in society. 


The ASSETS series of conferences explores the potential of Computer and
Information Technologies to support and include individuals with
disabilities, and those around them. ASSETS is the premier forum for
presenting innovative research on the design and use of both mainstream and
specialized assistive technologies by people with disabilities. Sponsored by
the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and its SIGACCESS Special
Interest Group on Accessible Computing, ASSETS includes formal paper
sessions, demonstrations, posters, a doctoral consortium, and a student
research competition. The single track and friendly atmosphere make ASSETS
the ideal venue to meet researchers, practitioners, developers and
policymakers to exchange ideas, share information, and make new contacts. 


Topics
High quality, original submissions on topics relevant to computers and
accessibility are invited. Appropriate topics include (but are not limited
to) the use of technology by and in support of: 

    Individuals with hearing, sight and other sensory impairments
    Individuals with motor impairments
    Individuals with memory, learning and cognitive impairments
    Individuals with multiple impairments
    Older adults


Successful submissions typically present (though submissions from other
related areas are encouraged) novel ideas, designs, techniques, systems,
evaluations, scientific investigations, methodologies, social issues or
policy issues relating to: 

    Assistive technologies that improve day-to-day life

    Assistive technologies that improve access to mainstream Computer and
    Information Technologies 

    Innovative use of mainstream technologies to overcome access barriers 

    Accessibility and usability of mainstream technologies 

    Identification of barriers to technology access that are not addressed by
    existing research 

Where relevant, work that includes empirical data from the target user groups
is strongly preferred. 


If you require further information, please contact the chairs who will be
more than happy to help.
