ASSETS 2005 is the seventh in the ACM's series of conferencessponsored by SIGACCESS (formerly SIGCAPH). As in the past, ASSETS2005 focuses its attention on topics related to design,development, and application of computer-based methodologies toachieve the objectives of universal access, with special attentionto the needs of people of al ages and with different capabilities.The ASSETS series of conferences is aimed at providing a technicalforum for presenting and disseminating innovative research resultsthat cover either (1) applications of computing and informationtechnologies to provide assistive systems to persons with specialneeds, or (2) investigation of computing technologies and their useby persons with disabilities. This year, the conference opened witha plenary address by Dr. Clayton Lewis, Professor of ComputerScience at the University of Colorado at Boulder. His presentationwas titled "Bridges for the Mind: Opportunities for Research onCognitive Disabilities.>ASSETS 2005 isthe first event of this conference series to bepresented on an annual basis - the previous ASSETS conferences havebeen held bi-annually. The change to an annual event is in responseto the growth of the field and the increasing interest in a morefrequent technical venue and discussion forum. As in previousyears, the conference is organized in such a way to promote an openforum where researchers, practitioners, educators, and students canpresent their ideas as formal papers, posters, demonstrations, aswell as engage in dialogue, sharing experiences, objectives,accomplishments and different perspectives. In this tradition,ASSETS 2005 is developed as a single-track conference, where formalpresentations, interactive sessions, panels, and social eventsalternate throughout the conference program.>The technical program is composed of 23 regular papers, selectedby the international program committee out of a total of 60submissions. The accepted submissions represent the work of 58authors from Canada, Chile, India, Japan, Sweden, UK, and the USA.The papers are organized in six thematic sessions. The program alsoincludes two sessions dedicated to the presentation of cutting-edgeresults and work-in-progress, in the form of demos and posters.Posters and demos were submitted in response to a separate call forpapers, which generated 30 submissions, of which 21 were selectedfor presentation. A 2-page abstract for each poster and demoappears in these proceedings. Both technical papers and poster/demopapers were subjected to a competitive peer-review process,ensuring ensured that the papers included in these proceedingsrepresent the state-of-the-art in the field.>The program is completed by a panel and the doctoral consortium.The panel brings together researchers, government, and industryrepresentatives to discuss the duality between universal access andassistive technologies. The doctoral consortium, chaired by JulieJacko, offers an opportunity to doctoral students to present theirideas to both peers and a selectedpool of experts. In addition,the main conference includes a session dedicated to the doctoralconsortium, providing an opportunity for participants to sharetheir research with the entire ASSETS audience. One doctoralstudent, selected by the doctoral consortium committee, willpresent the closing plenary for ASSETS 2005.
