Social exclusion occurs when individuals or even entire communities of people are blocked from rights, opportunities and resources preventing them from full participation in the activities of the society in which they live. The main objective of the conference is to establish an open exchange dedicated to the presentation and discussion about accessibility, inclusion and rehabilitation using Information Technologies. In this context, Information Technologies reffers to the development, maintenance, and use of computer systems, software, and networks for the processing and distribution of data specific to the community or individual in relation to issues of accessibility, inclusion and/or rehabilitation.
The call for articles reflects advancements and opportunities brought about in this field through technical innovations alongside adoption and inquiry by those practicing and/or researching in this important field associated to healthcare and societal well-being.
Examples of such opportunities are the pervasiveness and wide uptake by training personnel, in academia, and in research enquiring of societal impact and end-user benefit in treatment programs using sensor technologies. This twenty-first century work investigates and applies technologies that have become affordable and commercially available following game industries uptake and developments since the turn of the century and thereafter. However, it should be emphasized that this is only an example and authors are encouraged to make their own case according to their specific research that aligns with the general framework of the call for this special issue.
The research summaries submitted must address the problems related to the application of information technologies in accessibility to enable people with functional limitation to perform tasks that they were formerly unable to accomplish, in inclusion for people with different abilities and preferences, and in rehabilitation.
