Conference on Software Development for Enhancing Acessibility and Fighting Info-Exclusion is open for submissions
The following text has been issued by the organisers of DSAI2009:
Welcome to DSAI 2009. After a successful start with DSAI 2006 and DSAI 2007 editions, the International� Conference on Software Development for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion (DSAI 2009) will take place in June 2009, at the MSFT - Software para Microcomputadores, Lda. - TAGUSPARK - Lisbon - PORTUGAL.
Nowadays, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play a major role in our lives. However, ICT development which is indifferent to the concerns of social inclusion may raise barriers and increase the gap between the average user and those with special needs, instead of contributing to eliminating this gap and promoting equal rights and opportunities for all. Senior citizens and others with special needs are often faced with multiple minor disabilities that prevent them from enjoying the benefits of technology and higher quality of life standards. According to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, technology design should take into account accessibility and usability features for the protection and promotion of the human rights of persons with disabilities, in all policies and programmes.
We invite authors to submit papers in the following and related areas:
Software and Web accessibility
Software engineering for accessibility
Web accessibility tools and evaluation
End-user development for accessibility
E-learning and accessibility
Technologies
Virtual environments
Augmented reality
Assistive technology
Computer vision
Automation and robotics
eHealth
Smart homes
Advanced prototype systems for independent living and active ageing
Interfaces and interaction
Ergonomics
Accessibility and usability
Adaptive interfaces
Novel and multi-modal user interfaces
