Re: [announced] Call for Papers: User Modeling for Accessibility - Online Symposium

Dear all,

Following Shawn's announcement of the Call for Papers for the User
Modelling Symposium I have also created a wiki page with a distribution
list for the call.

http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Distribution_Table_for_UM4A

Please take care filling this out when you circulate the CfP to avoid
cross-postings.

Thank's in advance.

Regards,
Christos.

> Dear WAI Interest Group:
>
> The W3C WAI Research and Development Working Group (RDWG) invites you to
> contribute to the online symposium on User Modeling for Accessibility.
>         http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/2013/**user-modeling/<http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/2013/user-modeling/>
>         Submission date: 6 June 2013
>         Symposium date: 15 July 2013

> This online symposium invites researchers, practitioners, and users with
> disabilities, to explore current and past research experiences related to
> user modeling for accessibility. User modeling is an approach for
> generating and adapting user interfaces to address particular user needs
> and preferences. The goal of the symposium is to analyze different methods
> and implementations of user modeling and their potential usage for
> improving accessibility for people with disabilities. This includes the
> design, creation, storage, and usage of user models, in particular in web
> browsers, applications, authoring tools, and other aspects of the Web.
>
> We invite research and position papers of about 1,000 words. Submissions
> will be peer-reviewed.
>
> Accepted papers will be published online in an attributable form as part
> of the symposium proceedings. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to
> participate in the symposium panel.
>

> RDWG Background:
>
> The Research and Development Working Group (RDWG) helps:
> - increase accessibility considerations in research on web technologies,
> including mainstream research,
> - suggest research questions that may contribute to web accessibility
> research projects,
> - inform development of web accessibility solutions,
> - decrease the number of potential barriers in future web-related
> technologies.
>
> RDWG Symposia bring together researchers, practitioners, and users with
> disabilities interested in a particular aspect of web accessibility to
> advance research and development in that area. The online Symposia include
> a panel with the authors of accepted papers, and provide an opportunity for
> participants to ask questions. Symposia proceedings, transcript, and a
> report are available publicly online afterward.
