As AI and ML become integral to embedded and multicore systems, digital accessibility has become a cornerstone in modern system design. This special session emphasizes the transformative potential of innovative methods, frameworks, and technologies redefining the landscape of accessible computing. By addressing the multifaceted challenges of accessibility, it aims to foster groundbreaking research and development.
The session will explore hardware-software co-design approaches that enable the creation of inclusive interfaces, ensuring seamless usability for individuals with diverse abilities. It will also explore AI-driven assistive tools, including real-time accessibility solutions that adapt dynamically to user needs. Focusing on energy-efficient designs and universal frameworks is pivotal, enabling scalability while minimizing environmental and resource impacts. Furthermore, critical aspects such as privacy and security in accessible systems will be examined, ensuring that advancements safeguard sensitive user data without compromising inclusivity.
In addition to addressing these technical aspects, the session will illustrate real-world applications in healthcare, education, and other industries. For instance, AI-powered assistive technologies are revolutionizing patient care by empowering individuals with disabilities, while advanced educational tools are creating inclusive learning environments tailored to diverse student needs. These examples underline the far-reaching societal impact of accessible technologies. By bringing together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts, this session aspires to drive innovation and collaboration, bridging gaps between academic research and practical implementation.
