DESIGNING INCLUSIVE SYSTEMS:"Designing Inclusion for real-world
applications"

Registration Proceedings Important dates |
CWUAAT '12
is the sixth of a series of workshops that are held every two years and
follows on from the highly successful CWUAAT ’02, CWUAAT ’04, CWUAAT
’06, CWUAAT ‘08, CWUAAT '10. Inclusive Design Research involves developing tools and guidance for supporting product designers to design for the widest possible population for a given range of capabilities. In the context of demographic changes leading to a greater number of older people, the general field of inclusive design research strives to relate the capabilities of the population to the design of products by better characterising the user. Inclusive populations of older people contain a greater variation in sensory, cognitive and physical user capabilities. These variations may be co-occurring and rapidly changing leading to a demanding design environment. Recent research developments have addressed these issues in the context of simple daily living activities based on single tasks. However, the workshop theme: “Designing Inclusion for real-world applications” refers to the emerging potential and relevance of the latest generations of inclusive design data, tools, techniques and thinking, to mainstream project applications such as healthcare and the design of working environments. We seek original research papers describing investigations within the following broad categories: The call for participation in CWUAAT is international and contributions are welcomed from all leading researchers in the fields of Universal Access and Assistive Technology. Likely participants include computer scientists, designers, engineers, industrial representatives, therapists and practitioners, ergonomists and architects. The workshop will focus on, but will not be limited to, the following principal topics: 1. DESIGNING FOR REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS: WORK AND HEALTHCARE 2. DESIGNING INCLUSIVE ASSISTIVE AND REHABILITATION SYSTEMS 3. MEASURING PRODUCT DEMAND AND PEOPLES CAPABILITIES 4. MAINSTREAMING AND SCALING TECHNOLOGY FOR HEALTHCARE 5. DESIGNING COGNITIVE INTERACTION WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES 6. EFFECTIVE ENGAGEMENT WITH INDUSTRY 7. DESIGNING INCLUSIVE SPACES: ARCHITECTURE AND BUILDINGS 8. COLLABORATIVE AND PARTICIPATORY DESIGN FOR INCLUSION 9. DATA ISSUES: VISUALISING INCLUSION: MINING OF PROFILE DATA 10. LEGISLATION, STANDARDS AND POLICY IN INCLUSIVE DESIGN
RegistrationThe registration is now open. Please go direct to the on-line store to register.ProceedingsAccepted long papers will be
published as a book by Deadline for submission of long and short
papers, poster abstracts: 15
August, 2011 Advance registration (ends): 16 January, 2012 FormatsPaper format details are available on the conference web-site. All papers will be peer reviewed and the accepted papers will be presented during the workshop. Extended abstracts will be taken and reviewed but may be required to resubmit as full papers. To submit a paper please register on the CWUAAT submissions website: https://www-edc.eng.cam.ac.uk/cwuaat/papers/ Please join the cwuaat-announce news list at: https://lists.cam.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/eng-cwuaat-announce for CWUAAT announcements. User Forum CWUAAT 2012 will contain a single paper session allocated as a user forum. This is intended to give users of assistive technology and beneficiaries of improved accessibility an opportunity for an oral presentation of 25 minutes. Both short and long papers will be accepted in this category and topics and themes are not restricted. We welcome academic position papers, social and research agendas, critiques of provision of technology or poor accessibility, engineering or technical papers regarding product design and usage in work and daily living. Doctoral Consortium As one of the most successful aspects of CWUAAT ‘10, the event will again include a Doctoral Consortium. 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. Demonstrations
It is hoped that participants will be able to gain hands-on experience with working systems. Space and time will be available for demonstrations of software and hardware. Back to the top. Organising CommitteeDr
