*FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS* 2nd International Cross-Disciplinary Workshop on Web Accessibility (W4A 2005) 'Engineering Accessible Design' at the Fourteenth International World Wide Web Conference 10th May 2005, in Chiba, Japan. http://www.w4a.info Keynotes ----------------------- Chieko Asakawa (IBM) Wendy Chisholm (W3C) Eric Meyer (Complex Spiral) Invited Speakers ----------------------- Paul Bohman and Shane Anderson (WebAIM) Publications ----------------------- * The workshop proceedings will be published as part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series and will be available at the ACM Digital Library. * Selected papers will be invited to submit a revised version for consideration for a special issue of the Journal of Web Engineering. These papers will go through an additional reviewing process to ensure quality. Topics and Content --------------------- Full Call: http://www.w4a.info/2005/call.shtml We invite submissions for W4A 2004 addressing our current theme of 'Engineering Accessible Design'. Previous engineering approaches seem to have precluded the engineering of accessible systems. This is plainly unsatisfactory. Designers, authors, and technologist are at present playing 'catch-up' with a continually moving target in an attempt to retrofit systems. In-fact engineering accessible interfaces is as important as their functionality's and should be an indivisible part of the development. We should be engineering accessibility as part of the development and not as afterthought or because government restrictions and civil law requires us to. Our workshop will bringing together a cross section of the web design and engineering communities; to report on developments, discuss the issues, and suggest cross-pollinated solutions. Submission and Important Dates ------------------------------- *Submissions due: Friday 11th March 2005 *Notification for acceptance: Friday 8th April 2005 *Camera ready due: Friday 15th April 2005 *Workshop date: 10th May 2005
