Workshop on Universal Accessibility of Ubiquitous Computing: Providing for the Elderly; May 22-25, 2001; Alcacer do Sal, Portugal

这是为2001年5月22日至25日在“Pousada D.阿方索二号”位于葡萄牙里斯本外的阿尔卡塞尔。 组织者选择了这个相对僻静的地点，以便与会者可以不受干扰地参加研讨会，研讨会将汇集35-45名普遍获得研究，商业，学者和政策，以审查目前的状态-为近期和长期的活动设计并制定一套研究议程项目，其目标是通过以下方式确保普遍使用无处不在的计算老人 将特别强调阐明一种综合办法，在技术与人权和价值观的背景下解决问题，同时注意不仅由于实际限制而且由于观念、文化和背景的差异而造成的挑战。 在抵达之前，所有与会者将提供强调其个人观点的背景文件。 讲习班开始时将举行一次全体会议，确定今后工作的框架; 随后的每一次会议都将包括一个简短的正式发言，然后是主持人主导的讨论。 会议的暂定议题包括：普及的移动的计算和人口老龄化;探索性的以用户为中心的设计，为所有公民;无障碍和老年人;无障碍的人与认知障碍;以用户为中心的设计与老年人;社会学的整合促进技术; 以及老年人各种需求的概况。 大约有六名研究生将被邀请;他们将有一个独特的机会分享他们的论文工作的方向，并接受该领域的高级成员的指导。 经过同行审查的修订后的研讨会记录将由一家受人尊敬的出版社出版（组织者目前正在与ACM出版社和North-Holland进行谈判）。 此外，将向两个主要供资机构（国家科学基金会和欧盟）提交一份报告和研究议程，并将通过一个网站在网上提供讲习班的文稿、摘要和讨论，以确保及时向广大社区传播。 组织者收到了IFIP TC 13（HCI）和WG13.3（残疾人）以及ACM SIGCHI，SIGCAPH和SIGGRAPH的支持。 NSF的资金将主要用于支持美国与会者，以及一些一般费用。

This is funding for a jointly sponsored NSF/EU workshop to be held May 22-25, 2001, at the "Pousada D. Afonso II" situated in Alcacer do Sal outside of Lisbon, Portugal. This relatively secluded site has been chosen by the organizers so that attendees can participate without distraction in the workshop, which will bring together 35-45 leaders in the fields of universal access research, business, academics and policy to review the current state-of-the-art and produce a set of research agenda items for near and long term activities whose goal is to assure universal accessibility of ubiquitous computing by the elderly. Particular emphasis will be placed on articulating an integrated approach to addressing the problems in the context of technology and human rights and values, paying attention to challenges due not only to physical limitations but also to differences in perception, culture and background. Prior to arrival, all attendees will provide background papers highlighting their individual perspectives. The workshop will begin with a plenary session setting the framework for what is to follow; subsequent sessions will each include a short formal presentation followed by a facilitator-led discussion. The tentative list of session topics includes: pervasive mobile computing and the aging population; exploratory user centered design for all citizens; accessibility and the elderly; accessibility for people with cognitive impairments; user-centered design with senior citizens; sociological integration facilitated by technology; and profile of the senior citizen's varied needs. Approximately half a dozen graduate students will be included among the invitees; they will have a unique opportunity to share the direction of their thesis work and receive mentoring from senior members of the field. The revised, peer-reviewed workshop proceedings will be published as a book by a respected publisher (negotiations are currently under way by the organizers with ACM Press and North-Holland). Additionally, a report and research agenda will be submitted to the two major funding bodies (NSF and the EU), and workshop contributions, summaries and discussions will be made available online through a Web site to ensure timely dissemination to the community at large. The organizers have received expressions of support from IFIP TC13 (HCI) and WG13.3 (People with Disabilities), and from ACM SIGCHI, SIGCAPH, and SIGGRAPH. NSF funds will be used primarily to support American attendees, as well as some general expenses.
