Eleventh International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and
Accessibility
October 26-28, 2009
Pittsburgh, PA, USA
http://www.sigaccess.org/assets09
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:
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.
