Call for Papers IBM Systems Journal Special Issue on Accessibility Sara Basson, Vicki Hanson, Michael Strack, guest editors IBM T.J. Watson Research Center The IBM Systems Journal is planning a special issue on Accessibility. People with disabilities number nearly 1 billion worldwide, representing a formidable force of employees and customers. The technology required for achieving accessibility dovetails with technology required for pervasive computing, as all customers need increasingly flexible, multi-modal interfaces to accommodate IT access under varying environments and with numerous devices. The objective of this special issue is to document significant contributions to the area of accessibility by IBM authors and other leaders in the field. Topics of interest include: Architectural considerations in achieving accessibility Applications designed for people with disabilities Business considerations in providing an accessible infrastructure Universal access and design Aging populations and accessibility requirements Models of accessibility management Surveys of recent work in accessibility In order to help us plan this issue, prospective authors should notify the guest editors of their intent to submit a paper by submitting a title and short abstract to Sara Basson (sbasson@us.ibm.com) by May 15. The papers are due on October 15. Papers will be published on the Internet beginning in 2Q05 and the complete issue will be printed in August 2005. IBM Systems Journal strives to be a premier technical forum for software and systems aspects of computer science and engineering. The Journal’s Internet site is visited by 1.6 million readers per year, and 30,000 printed copies are distributed to IBM customers, employees, and paid subscribers. Here is an excerpt from the information for authors: "A paper may describe original work, discuss a new technique or application, present a survey of recent work in a given field, or provide tutorial information. Concepts and underlying principles should be emphasized, with enough background information to orient the reader who is not a specialist in the subject. The desired focus is on new technology or science, rather than simple descriptions of products. It is important to describe the value of specific work within the broader framework to which it pertains." More author information is available at http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/sjauth.html. Important dates: May 15, 2004: title and short abstract due to Sara Basson (sbasson@us.ibm.com) October 15, 2004: deadline for full paper
