DESIGNING INCLUSIVE INTERACTIONS
"Inclusive interactions between people and products in their contexts of use"
The workshop theme "Designing Inclusive Interactions" reflects the need to explore the issues and practicalities of design that is intended to extend our active future lives. This encompasses design for inclusion: for the individual at home; in the workplace; for businesses and of products in these contexts. It reflects the development of theory, tools and techniques as research moves on, and also the need to draw in wider psychological, social, and economic considerations in order to gain a more accurate understanding of users' interactions with products and technology.

DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
As one of the most praised aspects of CWUAAT 08, the event will this time include an extended Doctoral Consortium. This will take place on Monday 22nd and will share the day with registration only. The main conference sessions will start on the Tuesday 23rd. Candidates who submit to the doctoral consortium will be able to attend the workshop at a greatly reduced registration and 10 places have been allocated for this purpose. The two presentations judged to be the best by the consortium panel will win a podium presentation in the main workshop.
Demonstrations. It is hoped that participants will be able to gain hands-on experience with working systems. Space and time will be available for demonstrations of software and hardware
USER FORUM
Following feedback from the 2008 workshop, CWUAAT 2010 will contain a single paper session allocated as a user forum. This is intended to give users of assistive technology and beneficiaries of improved accessibility an opportunity for an oral presentation of 25 minutes. Both short and long papers will be accepted in this category and topics and themes are not restricted. We welcome academic position papers; social and research agendas, critiques of provision of technology or poor accessibility; engineering or technical papers regarding product design and usage in work and daily living.
