Call for Papers
Special Issue
Innovations in User Sensitive Design, Research and Development
About the UAIS Journal
The UAIS Journal is published by Springer since 2001, and solicits
original research contributions addressing the accessibility, usability
and acceptability of Information Society Technologies by anyone,
anywhere, at anytime, and through any media and device. Universal access
refers to the systematic effort to proactively apply principles, methods
and tools of universal design, in order to develop Information Society
Technologies which are accessible and usable by all citizens.
The Journal's unique focus is on theoretical, methodological, and
empirical research, of both technological and non-technological nature,
that addresses equitable access and active participation of potentially
all citizens in the Information Society.
For further information, please, refer to the "Aims and scope" section
on the Website of the UAIS Journal.
Aims and scope of this special issue
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a set of complementary

in the UK between October 2006 and April 2007 by the Collaborative
International Research Centre for Universal Access (CIRCUA), discussing
a wide range of topics related to user diversity, user modeling and
profiling, design methods and models, as well as new and emerging
technologies.

topics:
* user modelling
* diversity management
* digital stories, theatre and user requirements

* accessibility
