ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing
Transactions on Accessible Computing
(TACCESS) is a quarterly journal that publishes refereed
articles addressing issues of computing as it impacts the
lives of people with disabilities. It provides a
technical forum for disseminating innovative research that
covers either:
- applications of computing and information
technologies to provide assistive systems to persons
with disabilities, or
- investigations of computing technologies
and their use by persons with disabilities.
TACCESS is a peer-reviewed and archival
journal, both in print and online, that serves as a resource
for researchers, authors, editors and reviewers.
A Call for Papers has now been made
available. Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts
for consideration to the Editors-in-Chief. The expected
publication date for the first issue of TACCESS is Fall,
2007.

The Scope of TACCESS
The journal will be of particular interest
to SIGACCESS members and delegates to its affiliated conference
(i.e., ASSETS) as well as other international accessibility
conferences. It can be expected to serve as a forum for
discussions and information exchange between researchers,
clinicians, and educators; including rehabilitation personnel
who administer assistive technologies; and policy makers
concerned with equitable access to information technologies
for people with disabilities.
Clearly, computer and information
technologies have re-designed the way modern society operates.
In particular, they have identified new avenues to assist
individuals with special needs and provide tools and resources
to alleviate the traditional barriers encountered by persons
with disabilities. For example, speech generation systems
have assisted persons with visual impairments and blindness,
voice recognition has helped people with motor impairments,
and multi-modal presentations have been shown to be effective
in helping people with learning disabilities. These issues
and those yet to emerge will be addressed in both the online
and printed editions of TACCESS. |
