CALL FOR PAPERS
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.
Topics
High quality, original submissions on topics relevant to computers and
accessibility are invited. Appropriate topics include (but are not
limited to) 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
Successful submissions typically present (though submissions from
other related areas are encouraged) novel ideas, designs, techniques,
systems, 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
Where relevant, work that includes empirical data from the target
user groups is strongly preferred.
If you require further information, please contact the chairs who will
be more than happy to help.
