CALL FOR PAPERS

The ASSETS series of conferences explores the potential for Computer and Information Technologies to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities and those around them. ASSETS is the premier forum for presenting innovative research on the design and use of both mainstream and specialized assistive technologies to support people with disabilities.

This year's conference includes formal paper sessions, demonstrations, posters, a doctoral consortium, and a student research competition. The single track and friendly atmosphere make ASSETS the ideal venue to meet researchers, practitioners, developers and policy-makers to exchange ideas, share information, and make new contacts.

Mentors

Looking for help with your poster, demo, doctoral consortium submission, or student research competition submission? Help with submissions by seasoned researchers is available through the ASSETS Mentoring Program. Mentors will be experienced ASSETS contributors, who can help authors to improve their submissions. If you think you would benefit from mentoring either because you are new to presenting your research, new to the type of category you are interested in submitting to or simply find that preparing English language papers foreign to your paper writing experience, please consider applying for mentoring help. See the mentor program page for more information.
