ABOUT CWUAAT
------------
CWUAAT is the first of a series of workshops that we are aiming to hold
every two years. The workshop has been inspired by, and shall build on, the
highly successful Cambridge Workshops on Rehabilitation Robotics organised
by the late Robin Jackson. Robin was the founder of Rehabilitation Research
at Cambridge and a best paper prize shall be presented at CWUAAT in his
memory.
Reflecting the spirit of recent moves to extend the rights for universal
accessibility, the new series of workshops is aimed at a broader range of
interests, although still with a general focus on product/solution
development. It is hoped that the principal requirements for the successful
design of assistive technology shall be addressed. The range of
requirements extends from identifying and capturing the needs of the users,
through to the development and evaluation of truly usable and accessible
systems for users with special needs. Such users include, but are not
limited to, those with functional impairments and the elderly.
The call for participation in CWUAAT is international and contributions are
welcomed from all leading researchers in the fields of Universal Access and
Assistive Technology. Likely participants include computer scientists,
designers, engineers, industrial representatives, ergonomists and
sociologists.
