The general themes are:-

 • Designing Assistive and Rehabilitation Technology for working and daily living environments

• Measuring inclusion for the design of products for work and daily living

• Computer Access, Intelligent Environments and New Technologies for inclusive design

• Accessible and Inclusive Design for work and daily living environments

• Assembling new User Data for inclusive design

• Social, Workplace and Environmental Context of Product use

• Legislation, Standards and Government Awareness of Inclusive Design

Contributions on other topics relevant to Assistive Technology, Universal access, and Inclusive Design will also be accepted. Please note that we welcome the submission of papers that include user testing of prototype systems or demonstrators with real users. Space and time will be available for demonstrations of software and hardware.

We expect that the accepted long papers will be published as a book by Springer-Verlag, UK. Short papers will be published in the proceedings. Selected long papers will appear in a special edition of the Universal Access in the Information Society (UAIS) journal published by Springer.

As one of the most praised aspects of CWUAAT 06, the event will again include a Doctoral Consortium on the first morning of the conference. 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.

SOLICITED CONTRIBUTIONS

CWUAAT aims to solicit:

• Formal papers (6-10 pages), reporting original work relevant to the workshop themes;

• Poster presentations (1-2 pages abstract, 3-4 pages for camera-ready copy); and

• Demonstrations (1 page description)

Further details of paper format and electronic submission instructions will be available on the conference web-site. All papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the programme committee, and the accepted papers will be presented during the workshop.
