CWUAAT '10 is the fifth of a
series of workshops that are held every two years and follows on from the
highly successful CWUAAT ’02, CWUAAT ’04, CWUAAT ’06, and
CWUAAT ‘08.
The workshop theme “Designing Inclusive
Interactions” reflects the need to explore the issues and
practicalities of design that is intended to extend our active future lives.
This encompasses design for inclusion: for the individual at home; in the
workplace; for businesses and of products in these contexts. It reflects the
development of theory, tools and techniques as research moves on, and also
the need to draw in wider psychological, social, and economic considerations
in order to gain a more accurate understanding of users’ interactions
with products and technology. Trends are now identifiable in mainstream HCI
and interaction research such that it is now no longer sufficient to
investigate user modelling or develop usability guidance for specific,
technology interfaces but where researchers must, by necessity, take up the
challenge of widespread integration of products with the wider social,
psychological and design worlds, such as healthcare or mobile systems. The
philosophy underlying inclusive design specifically extends the definition of
product users to include people who are excluded by disability and rapidly
changing technology, especially the elderly and ageing, and emphasises the
value of impairment and disability in innovation and new product and service
development.
The workshop aims to encourage wide-ranging discussion,
co-operation and collaboration within and between the universal access and
assistive technology research communities in the context of inclusive design.
We hope this will lead to new solutions to reduce exclusion and difficulty
arising from impairment with special application to our future lives, in the
workplace, at home and at leisure.
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 ASSISTIVE AND REHABILITATION TECHNOLOGY FOR
WORKING AND LIVING
2. MEASURING INCLUSION FOR THE DESIGN OF PRODUCTS FOR WORK
AND DAILY LIVING
3. INCLUSIVE INTERACTION DESIGN AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR
INCLUSIVE DESIGN
4. ASSEMBLING NEW USER DATA FOR INCLUSIVE DESIGN
5. THE DESIGN OF ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE CONTEXTS: WORK AND
LIVING
6. BUSINESS ADVANTAGES AND APPLICATIONS OF INCLUSIVE DESIGN
7. LEGISLATION, STANDARDS AND GOVERNMENT AWARENESS OF
INCLUSIVE DESIGN

Contributions
CWUAAT aims to solicit:
• Long papers (6-10 pages), reporting original
work relevant to the workshop themes;

Short papers will be
published seperately in an official conference
proceedings.
Selected long papers will appear in a special edition of the Universal Access
in the Information Society (UAIS) journal published by Springer-Verlag.

User Forum
Following feedback from the 2008 workshop, CWUAAT 2010 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 praised aspects of CWUAAT 08, the event will this time include an extended Doctoral Consortium. This will take place on Monday 22nd and will share the day with registration only. The main conference sessions will start on the Tuesday 23rd. 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
