Following the camera-ready deadline, workshop organizers will receive instructions for completing their eRights forms, validating and submitting their final workshop proposal to TAPS, and submitting their final accessible PDF.

To help reduce videoconferencing exhaustion and to broaden participation, we encourage organizers to think creatively and inclusively to make the workshops interactive. Workshop organizers may consider supporting offline activities ahead of/during the workshop (such as sending design kits to participants). Organizers may also want to consider tasks and activity design where attendees might be co-located (e.g., a workshop that connects multiple research groups) and could physically work together prior to joining the online workshop event.

While traditionally at in-person workshops we would often work for up to 8 hours at a time, in online workshops we recommend that you reduce the length of time that your participants will be on the video call and opt for shorter, more interactive activities.

We expect to have participants from all around the world, as such it is vital that you plan your workshop to accommodate participants joining from a number of timezones. Consider more asynchronous breakout activities that participants can do on their own, complemented with shorter synchronous interactions where participants get together and discuss.

The ASSETS Workshop track will follow a peer review process. During the period between submissions and notifications, researchers and practitioners in the areas of accessibility, disability, and computing from the program committee will be invited to review and discuss workshop proposal submissions on PCS.

After the discussion period, the final selection will be curated by the workshop chairs based on the following assessment criteria:

• Does the workshop foster community-building and look to broaden diversity in the ASSETS community?
• Alignment of the workshop topic with the interests of the ASSETS community.
• The workshops’ potential to generate discussion on new directions of future work by the ASSETS community.
• Level of engagement and proposed interactivity in the workshop. For workshop proposals of comparable quality, preference will be given to workshops containing discussion, interactive sessions, and a diverse organization team.

Based on the reviews and the discussion, the workshop chairs will make final decisions.

Workshop organizers upon receiving notification of acceptance, must prepare to fulfil the following responsibilities prior to the workshop day:

• Set up a website: Organizers of an accepted workshop must set up and maintain a website with information about their workshop (deadlines, CfP, program, templates, accepted papers/participants, organizers, etc.). We will include the link to the workshop’s page on the official ASSETS workshop site.
• Advertise your workshop: Share your call for participants within your professional network. Accepted workshops will also be listed on the ASSETS’24 web page.
• Collect position papers or workshop artifacts: From potential participants (depending on how the organizers run the workshop). A position paper can be a 2-4 pages document. An artifact can be a video or images of physical objects that outlines the submitter’s view on the workshop theme and the reasons for the submitter’s interest in the topic.
• Set up a review process: Select participants accordingly. We expect workshops to target a minimum number of 10 participants.
• Plan for pre-workshop activities: If applicable, share and distribute any pre-workshop materials (e.g., design kits) to participants in advance of the workshop.
• Distribute: Share accepted position papers or workshop artifacts. This will help participants to familiarize themselves with workshop content and encourage more in-depth discussions.
• Ensure the workshop organizers and participants are aware of the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.

Workshop Organizers: All organizers who plan to attend the workshop must register for the workshop and at least one organizer must register for the entire conference.

Workshop Attendees: Must register for the workshop they are attending.

Registration fee: Workshop registration fees will be found on the conference registration page. Although not required, workshop attendees are strongly encouraged to register for the full conference in addition to their workshop.

By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM's new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.

Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper. ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors. The collection process has started and will roll out as a requirement throughout 2022. We are committed to improving author discoverability, ensuring proper attribution and contributing to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.
