We were proud to welcome participants from more than 40 countries from all conti- nents to ICCHP. The International Programme Committee, encompassing 102 experts form all over the world, selected 150 full and 40 short papers out of 360 abstracts submitted to ICCHP. Our acceptance rate of about half of the submissions, demonstrates the scientific quality of the programme and in particular the proceedings you have in your hands. An impressive group of experts agreed to organize “Special Thematic Sessions” (STS) for ICCHP 2008. The existence of these STS sessions helped to bring the meet- ing into sharper focus in several key areas of assistive technology. In turn, this deeper level of focus helped to bring together the state-of-the-art and mainstream technical, social, cultural and political developments. Our keynote speaker, Jim Fruchterman from BeneTech, USA highlighted the im- portance of giving access to ICT and AT at a global level. In another keynote by Har- old Thimbleby, Swansea University, UK, the role of user-centred design and usability engineering in assistive technology and accessibility was addressed. And finally, a combination keynote and panel discussion was reserved for WAI/WCAG2.0, which we expect to be the new reference point for Web accessibility from the summer of 2008 and beyond. The programme was accompanied by a German-spoken event called “IKT Forum,” which brought together more than 200 practitioners. With an interesting workshop programme, meetings, an exhibition including presentations and demonstrations of major software and assistive technology producers and vendors, ICCHP once again fulfilled its mission of an international meeting place and a center of advanced infor- mation exchange . Since the late 1980s it has been ICCHP’s mission to support and reflect the devel- opment of the field of “assistive technologies,” eAccessibility and eInclusion. With a focus on scientific quality, ICCHP has become an important reference in our field for mainstream. We hope that this conference and this collection of papers will once again fulfil this role. ICCHP 2008 was held under the auspices of Heinz Fischer, President of the Fed- eral Republic of Austria. We would also like to thank all supporters and sponsors. Our special thanks go to those contributing to put this conference in place: General ICCHP 2006 Chair, H. J.
