The Disab2023 workshop aims to explore interactive systems engineering for users with disabilities. The steps in the design process concern: specification, implementation, verification, and validation. The disabilities can be:
- permanent (visual, hearing, mobility impairments, ...),
- evolutive (in the case of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson) or
- temporary (situationally impaired people).
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Requirements engineering for interactive systems for users with disabilities
- Design, verification and validation techniques used for the engineering of interactive systems for users with disabilities
- Interaction techniques applied in the engineering of interactive systems for users with disabilities
- Engineering interactive systems for users with disabilities with new technologies (e.g., adaptive, tangible, multimodal input, mobile and wearable systems, augmented, mixed, virtual realities)
- Approaches (techniques, methods, models, methodologies) for the personalization, adaptation, customization of user interfaces for people with disabilities
- Interaction techniques to support the collaboration between users with disabilities and others.
To that end, three different submission types will be accepted:
- Research paper (8 pages) – presentation of scientific research on one of the workshop topics including or not preliminary results;
- Demo proposal (4 pages) - detailed presentation of a prototype or complete system for people with disabilities. The demo of the prototype will be performed as a presentation in the workshop sessions (e.g. video of the prototype/software application, on-line presentation).
- Research project (4 pages) – description of official research projects in educational or industry institutions centered on engineering of interactive systems for people with disabilities. The paper should present the goals and the intermediate of final results of the project.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least two peers. Submissions will be selected on their potential to foster discussion. All submissions should be prepared according to the LNCS proceedings template and submitted anonymously as PDF through the workshop management system. In case of acceptance, a poster will be requested to the authors together with the final version of the article.
The submissions should be prepared according to LNCS proceedings template.
Papers should be submitted in PDF format, anonymously, using the EasyChair submission system.
Accepted and presented papers at EICS workshops will be published in a Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume (to be produced few months after the workshop)
