The conference by its nature has a wide area of topics and a future oriented mission. The following list therefore is not complete but should provide motivation to get involved:

(e)Accessibility and Usability

discusses the possibilities of avoiding barriers for people with disabilities in the future when using existing and evolving ICT and consumer electronics. A special focus will be given to emerging technologies like semantic web, user interface automation, profiling, adaptive interfaces

Aging and Disability

presents innovative systems for helping elderly people to maintain their autonomy. How such systems can be accepted by persons who aren't familiar with technologies is part of this topic, too.

Assessment and Profiling

proposes methodological approaches for anticipating or evaluating the impact of ICT/AT. It also discusses concepts and techniques for evaluating capabilities and needs of individuals.

Assistive Technology

focuses on increasing the quality and availability of assistive devices for independent living, communication and inclusion.

Design for All

highlights the role of ICT/AT for a more free and open access to the built environment, e.g. architecture, traffic, housing, public buildings, work place, ... .

Service Delivery

all aspects (human, economic, organisational and managerial) involved when implementing concrete services resulting from technological innovations.
