This special issue highlights state-of-the-art research in intelligent
systems and technology for people with diverse abilities. To control scope,
we focus on cognitive diversity, including but not limited to,
neurodevelopmental disorders and autism, cognitive and learning
disabilities, and dementia. This special issue targets the challenges and
requirements inherent to the development and assessment of such systems.

Topics of Interest

For this special issue, we are interested in works addressing topics that
include, but are not limited to:

   -

   Conceptual models and framework for intelligent applications for people
   with cognitive disabilities;
   -

   How to model cognitive disabilities: which data to collect, how to
   collect them, formalisms to represent user data;
   -

   Interaction models for people with cognitive disabilities and
   user-centered design for intelligent applications for people with cognitive
   disabilities, also considering universal design approach;
   -

   Search systems for people with cognitive disabilities, such as
   conversational and traditional modes of interaction with search systems;
   -

   Job training systems for people with cognitive disabilities;
   -

   Personalized support for people with cognitive disabilities;
   -

   Recommender systems for people with cognitive disabilities;
   -

   Recommendation and search based on expert/human in the loop paradigm;
   -

   Ethical and privacy issues in dealing with intelligent applications for
   people with cognitive disabilities;
   -

   Evaluation and associated concerns (restrictions inherent to the
   population under study, lack of shared datasets or benchmarks to enable
   comparisons, metrics);
   -

   Usability and accessibility studies where the participants are people
   with cognitive disabilities.
