Extended abstracts that the reviewer deems suitable for a Paper/manuscript development workshop will be selected. This will be intimated to the authors for their confirmation/ willingness to participate in the workshop. The paper/manuscript development workshop will be conducted by senior researchers in the area of assistive technologies for the authors of accepted extended abstracts. More details will be provided along with the notification of acceptance to such authors.  

   
In case an extended abstract is based on an already published work, then the same should be explicitly mentioned in the submitted extended abstract. Based on the review, such extended abstracts may be included for presentation in the conference.
