Tenth International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility
October 13-15, 2008
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

CALL FOR PAPERS
The ASSETS series of conferences explores the potential for Computer and
Information Technologies to enhance the lives of 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 to support people with
disabilities. Since 1994, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
and its SIGACCESS Special Interest Group on Accessible Computing has
sponsored the ASSETS series of conferences. This year's conference
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.
