Introduction

The 9th International Workshop on Assistive Engineering and Information Technology (AEIT 2019) will be held in November 12-15, 2019, in Guangzhou, China, in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Smart City and Informatization (iSCI 2019)(http://www.iSCI-Conf.org/iSCI2019/).

The motivation of this workshop is to introduce the recent progress of assistive engineering. It is expected that engineering is applied for welfare of person with disabilities and senior citizens in modernization society. The relative fields of the workshop include the applications of information technology, mechanical electronic, biological engineering, multimedia technology, communication technology, material science, image processing and brain science on assistive engineering, and so on.


AEIT 2019 topics include, but are not limited to the following:

Assistive information engineering

Multimedia and information accessibility

Assistive machine and equipment

Braille recognition and its applications

Nursing robot

Artificial limb

Sense engineering

Communication technology and telemonitoring system

Rehabilitation science and technology

Bio-informatics


Submission and Publication Information

All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference website (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aeit2019) with PDF format. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 12 pages in Springer LNCS format (or up to 16 pages with the pages over length charge), including tables, figures, references and appendices. Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation assessed by at least three reviewers. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work. AEIT 2019 reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from the digital library and indexing services), if the paper is not presented at the conference. All accepted papers will be published by Springer LNCS (EI Indexed). One outstanding paper will be selected to receive the Best Paper Award.
