The Fifth International Conference on Universal Accessibility in the Internet of Things and Smart Environments

SMART ACCESSIBILITY 2020


Computer Networks & Wireless Communication Engineering & Computer Science (General) Educational Technology



Greetings,



With everyone's health and safety in mind, we are adapting some of the ways in which IARIA conferences are organized:

1. The submission deadlines (and other dates such as notification and camera ready) are rather flexible in order to account for possibly limited author access to the academic/industrial premises where the research work is taking place.

2. During the conference, authors will be able to present their work via pre-recorded videos and/or conference calls (in case they opt to avoid travel).

3. Selection of awarded papers and invitations for expanded versions for IARIA journals are not affected by the presentation method (pre recorded or in person).

We wish you health and safety during these times.


 


----------------

That being said, note that the submission deadline has been extended to September 3, 2020.

Please consider to contribute to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and publish original scientific results to:

SMART ACCESSIBILITY 2020, The Fifth International Conference on Universal Accessibility in the Internet of Things and Smart Environments

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended article versions to one of the IARIA Journals: https://www.iariajournals.org
