CFP Track Accessible Devices and Technologies (ADT ’26) – ACM SAC 2026
July 22nd, 2025 
Daniela Lopez de Luise
Thessaloniki, Greece, March 23 – 27, 2026
Part of the 41st ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC ‘26)
https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2026/
Theme and Scope
Modern devices and technologies can represent a digital barrier for users with disabilities, but they can be exploited to become enabling tools for them. Accessibility of devices and technologies is a critical topic to allow inclusion of all users, especially due to the European laws that impose accessibility for new products and the definition of an updated version of WCAG (Web Accessibility Guidelines). This track invites scientists, engineers, and decision-makers from government, industry, and academia to present technical papers on their research and development results in areas of accessibility.
This track can interest many researchers since it would give the chance to face a wide range of topics, i.e., web or mobile technologies, with different points of view, taking into account specific technological constraints and digital barriers. It is well-known that the so-called “curb cut effect” can be applied to any technological and digital context (in terms of devices, content, and services): technologies that were originally meant to benefit people with disabilities can help any other users. Moreover, the history and the evolution of several technologies have been influenced and/or motivated by the special needs of people with disabilities.
This track will invite scientists, engineers, and decision-makers from government, industry, and academia to present technical papers on their research and development results in areas of accessibility, including but not limited to the following topics:
- Accessible devices/assistive technologies: assistive technologies refer to all the assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities that enable users to perform tasks they were formerly unable to accomplish. On the one hand, the widespread diffusion of new devices and technologies stimulates researchers to find and apply new solutions to make them accessible to anyone. On the other hand, experiences in accessibility-related fields have been exploited and have provided benefits to users equipped with non-conventional devices when they emerged in the market.
- Accessible solutions for e-learning, e-commerce, e-banking, etc: e-services and content often require specific technologies, being bounded by specific constraints when accessed by people with disabilities equipped with assistive technologies. Specific interaction modalities may affect interactive service access, while richness and quantity of content may affect the users’ ability to process information.
- Accessible content: e-books, accessible TV, accessible broadcasting, etc.
- Accessibility of games.
- AI for Accessibility: AI can be exploited both for personalization (i.e., integrating AI-based personalization to support specific and special needs) and “enabler” (i.e., exploiting LLM to support the creation of accessible applications).
Submission Guidelines
We would like to invite authors to submit papers on research on the Accessibility area, with particular emphasis on assessing the current state of the art and identifying future directions. Original papers addressing any of the listed topics of interest (or related topics) will be considered. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a double-blind review process by at least three referees. Accepted papers will be included in the ACM SAC 2026 proceedings and published in the ACM digital library, being indexed by Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus. Submissions fall into the following categories:
- Original and unpublished research work;
- Reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, and business area;
- Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains;
- Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems.
The track accepts full papers (max 8 pages), posters (max 2 pages), and SRC abstracts (max 2 pages). Submissions should be properly anonymized to facilitate blind reviewing. Papers that will recevie high reviews (that is acceptable by reviewer standard) but will not be accepted due to space limitations can be invited for poster session. Authors of accepted papers must be prepared to sign a copyright statement and must pay the registration fee and guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. No-show of scheduled papers will result in excluding the papers from the ACM Digital Library.

Diplomatura-TD-Cronograma-2025-2026.pdfSecond International Workshop on Data Analytics in Biomedicine
July 16th, 2025 Daniela Lopez de Luise https://socio.org.uk/ddp/workshopinter.php
CALL FOR PAPERS
The exponential growth of data generated from various textual sources
presents both a challenge and a huge opportunity. A key challenge lies
in effectively managing and extracting valuable insights from this vast
amount of unstructured and heterogeneous data. To address this issue,
advanced data analytics techniques, ranging from data and text mining to
semantic network analysis and recent advancements in large language
models (LLMs), have become indispensable tools for researchers and
practitioners.
This is particularly relevant in the realm of biomedicine, where text
mining has shown the ability to enable researchers to uncover hidden
patterns, trends, and associations that would otherwise remain buried in
the vast amount of health-related textual data, as research articles,
clinical reports, and electronic health records (EHRs).
On the other hand, semantic network analysis, which focuses on
understanding the structure and dynamics of networks formed by entities
and their interconnections derived from text mining processes, can
facilitate a deeper understanding of the complex interrelationships
within biomedical data. By analyzing properties like centrality,
modularity, and community structures, researchers can identify key nodes
and critical pathways in biological networks, predict disease
associations, and explore the functional organization of biological
systems.
Integrating text mining, semantic network analysis, and large language
models offers a powerful approach to enhance the ability to generate new
hypotheses and insights and support the development of more effective
diagnostics, treatments, and interventions.
The workshop represents an opportunity to explore the latest
advancements in data analytics and text mining in biomedicine. Attendees
will gain insights into developing more interpretable models, handling
large-scale biomedical datasets, and implementing scalable solutions for
real-world healthcare applications.
Moreover, the workshop is highly relevant because it has the potential
to significantly improve the safety, effectiveness, and efficiency of
biomedical interventions through advanced data analytics.
TOPIC OF INTEREST
We invite submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not
limited to:
• Novel techniques and measures for assessing textual data quality and
handling data integration.
• Advanced text-mining techniques for biomedical data
• Construction and analysis of semantic networks in biomedicine
• Case studies on integrated text mining and semantic network analysis
• Applications of LLMs in biomedicine
• Data analytics in precision medicine
• Text-driven approaches to drug discovery
• Interpretable or scalable data analytics approaches
• Application of data analytics and network science in narrative
medicine
• Computational methods for disease modeling and prediction
• Ethical considerations in biomedical data analytics
• Multimodal biomedical data analytics
• Future trends and challenges in biomedical data analytics
PROGRAM
The workshop will take place on (To Be Announced). The program is not
available yet.
