                                  ASSETS'96

                            The 2nd ACM/SIGCAPH
                   Conference on Assistive Technologies

                   -=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-

                              April 11-12, 1996
                         Vancouver Renaissance Hotel
                              Vancouver, Canada

   Sponsored by the ACM's Special Interest Group on Computers and the
   Physically Handicapped, ASSETS'96 will be the second in a new series of
   conferences whose goal is to provide a forum where researchers and
   developers, from academia and industry, can meet to exchange ideas and
   report on new developments relating to computer-based systems to help
   people. The conference scope spans disabilities and special needs of
   all kinds, including but not limited to: sensory (hearing, vision);
   motor (orthopedic); cognitive (learning, speech, mental); and emotional.

   TECHNICAL PAPERS of the high quality expected at major ACM conferences
   should be up to 8 pages in length and may be of various kinds:

      (a) Presentation of original and significant research.
      (b) Results of relevant and rigorous empirical studies.
      (c) Description of the ``look and feel'' and discussion of the
          internal workings of an implemented system.

   Authors are encouraged to send a short VIDEOTAPE with their paper, if
   possible, to clarify and reinforce the concepts discussed. Papers must
   be set in 11 point type and formatted in two-column conference style.

   PANEL PROPOSALS up to 3 pages in length on timely and controversial
   topics are also welcome. These submissions should be formatted like a
   technical paper, and will if accepted be included in the conference
   proceedings. They should include:

      (a) An introduction by the organizer/moderator.
      (b) Position statements from each panelist.
      (c) Brief biographical sketches of all participants.

   ALL SUBMISSIONS WILL BE REFEREED, and no more will be accepted than can
   be comfortably presented in a single track (no parallel sessions).
   Authors of accepted papers will be required to prepare an electronic
   version for the on-line conference proceedings which will supplement
   the traditional printed volume. Some authors will also be asked to
   submit an electronic version of their paper for review purposes prior
   to acceptance, in ASCII or other human-readable format.

   Send 7 copies of full papers along with 2 copies of any accompanying
   videos, and 4 copies of panel proposals, to the Program Chair:
