Christensen

Please note that to accommodate other recent calls for papers, we are
extending the deadline for full paper submission to the ACM Transactions on
Accessible Computing (TACCESS) Special Issue on Speech and Language
Interaction for Daily Assistive Technology. We are also adjusting the
response to authors deadline. The new dates are as follows:

*	==> Full paper submission: 28th April 2014  <==
*	Response to authors: 14th July 2014
*	Revised submission deadline: 31st August 2014
*	Notification of acceptance: 31st October 2014
*	Final manuscripts due: 30th November 2014

Submission process

o    Contributions must not have been previously published or be under
consideration for publication elsewhere, although substantial extensions of
conference or workshop papers will be considered. as long as they adhere to
ACM's minimum standards regarding prior publication
(http://www.acm.org/pubs/sim_submissions.html). Studies involving
experimentations with real target users will be appreciated. All submissions
have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the
Journal website at http://www.rit.edu/gccis/taccess/.  

o    Submissions should follow the journal's suggested writing format (
<http://www.gccis.rit.edu/taccess/authors.html>
http://www.gccis.rit.edu/taccess/authors.html) and should be submitted
through Manuscript Central  <http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/taccess>
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/taccess , indicating that the paper is
intended for the Special Issue. All papers will be subject to the peer
review process and final decisions regarding publication will be based on
this review.

Topics of interest for submission to this special issue include (but are not
limited to):

•              Speech, natural language and multimodal interfaces designed
for people with physical or cognitive impairments 

•              Applications of speech and NLP technology (automatic speech
recognition, synthesis, dialogue, natural language generation) for AT
applications 

•              Novel modeling and machine learning approaches for AT
applications 

•              Long-term adaptation of speech/NLP based AT system to user's
change 

•              User studies, overview of speech/NLP technology for AT:
understanding the user's needs and future speech and language based
technologies. 

•              Understanding, modeling and recognition of aged or disordered
speech 

•              Speech analysis and diagnosis: automatic recognition and
detection of speech pathologies and speech capability loss 

•              Speech-based distress recognition 

•              Automated processing of symbol languages, sign language and
nonverbal communication including translation systems. 

•              Text and audio processing for improved comprehension and
intelligibility, e.g., sentence simplification or text-to-speech 

•              Evaluation methodology of systems and components in the lab
and in the wild. 

•              Resources; corpora and annotation schemes 

•              Other topics in AAC, AAL, and AT
