People with disabilities are facing a lot of difficulties every day. Whether it is in social life, work or education environment, or in communication. The effect of assistive technologies in enhancing people with disabilities was huge. Assistive technologies refer to the term of products or related systems that are used to help people with disabilities to maintain or improve functioning and thereby promote well-being. These technologies allow people with difficulties to be more productive in life. Assistive technologies could be in many forms such as wheelchairs, communication products or other forms. In the communication products, many efforts have been made to develop systems or devices that assist individuals who have difficulty understanding and producing speech.
AI 2004 : Advances in artificial intelligence ; 17th Australian Joint conference on artificial intelligence, Cairns, Australia, December 4-6, 2004, proceedings
AI 2004 was the seventeenth in the series of annual Australian artificial intelli-gence conferences. This conference is the major forum for artificial intelligenceresearch in Australia. It has consistently attracted strong international partic-ipation. This year more than two thirds of the submissions were from outsideAustralia.The current volume is based on the proceedings of AI 2004. AI 2004 was collo-cated with Complex 2004, the 7th Asia-Pacific Conference on Complex Systems,with the aim of promoting cross-fertilization and collaboration in areas of com-plex and intelligent systems

Affective computing and intelligent interaction ; 1st international conference, ACII 2005, Beijing, China, October 22-24, 2005, Proceedings
Traditionally, the machine end of human–machine interaction has been very passive, and certainly has had no means of recognizing or expressing a?ective information. But without the ability to process such information, computers cannot be expected to communicate with humans in a natural way. The ability to recognize and express a?ect is one of the most important features of - man beings. We therefore expect that computers will eventually have to have the ability to process a?ect and to interact with human users in ways that are similar to those in which humans interact with each other. A?ective computing and intelligent interaction is a key emerging technology that focuses on m- iad aspects of the recognition, understanding, and expression of a?ective and emotional states by computers.
Affect and Emotion in Human-Computer Interaction : From Theory to Applications
The present book provides an account of the latest work on a variety of aspects related to affect and emotion in human-technology interaction. It covers theoretical issues, user experience and design aspects as well as sensing issues, and reports on a number of affective applications that have been developed in recent years.
Advances in web mining and web usage analysis ; 8th International workshop on knowledge discovery on the web, WebKDD 2006 Philadelphia, USA, August 20, 2006 Revised Papers
The discipline of data mining delivers methodologies and tools for the an- ysis of large data volumes and the extraction of comprehensible and non-trivial insights from them. Web mining, a much younger discipline, concentrates on the analysisofdata pertinentto the Web.Web mining methods areappliedonusage data and Web site content; they strive to improve our understanding of how the Web is used, to enhance usability and to promote mutual satisfaction between e-business venues and their potential customers.Many ofthe infancy problems in Web mining have been solvedby now, but the tremendous potential for new and improved uses, as well as misuses, of the Web are leading to new challenges.

The WEBKDD workshop series takes place as part of the ACM SIGKDD International Conf- ence on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) since 1999. The discipline of data mining delivers methodologies and tools for the an- ysis of large data volumes and the extraction of comprehensible and non-trivial insights from them. Web mining, a much younger discipline, concentrates on the analysisofdata pertinentto theWeb.Web mining methods areappliedonusage data and Web site content; they strive to improve our understanding of how the Web is used, to enhance usability and to promote mutual satisfaction between e-business venues and their potential customers. In the last years, the interest for the Web as medium for communication, interaction and business has led to new challenges and to intensive, dedicated research. Many of the infancy problems in Web mining have now been solved but the tremendous potential for new and improved uses, as well as misuses, of the Web are leading to new challenges.
