CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Ninth International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers
and Accessibility
October 15-17, 2007
Tempe, AZ, USA
www.acm.org/sigaccess/assets07/
The ASSETS series of conferences explores the potential for
Computer
and Information Technologies to enhance the lives of
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 to support
people
with disabilities. Since 1994, the Association for Computing
Machinery (ACM) and its SIGACCESS Special Interest Group on
Accessible
Computing has sponsored the ASSETS series of conferences.
This year's
conference 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.
Keynote Speaker
Jonathan Wolpaw, from the Wadsworth Center, will give a talk
titled:
"Brain-Computer Interfaces for Communication and Control".
Topics
High quality, original submissions will cover topics
relevant to
computers and accessibility. This includes 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
Researchers and practitioners will present novel ideas,
designs,
techniques, systems, tools, 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
ASSETS accepts submissions in the following categories:
* Technical papers
* Posters
* Demonstrations
* Student research competition
* Doctoral consortium
