The Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusivity Workshop will investigate the recent developments that
aim to ensure that cyber security is accessible and inclusive to the users. Mainstream research in
cyber security often focuses on technical mechanisms and usability, but does not account for the
specific needs of the users to promote accessibility. This inaugural workshop will provide a forum for
researchers in the domains of accessibility, cyber security and human computer interaction to
discuss opportunities for bridging the three areas and creating a roadmap to ensure that security
mechanisms are suitable to users of all abilities. This year, we are pleased to announce our 1st
workshop in conjunction with the British HCI 2021 Conference, hosted by the University of West
London.
The workshop will cover the following topics (but not limited to):
Diversity, e.g. technology acceptance, adoption and discrimination
Inclusivity, e.g. Design for All, Inclusive by Design and Universal Design
Accessibility, e.g. accessible authentication, accessible design, assistive technology, usable
accessibility, user experience, visual design and web accessibility
Human Centred Design approaches, e.g. design solutions and evaluations, heuristics,
multimodal interactions, participatory design, privacy and security studies
Application Areas, e.g. aging population, ambient assisted living, mobility, smart systems,
telecare and telehealth
Industrial Case Studies, e.g. education, financial technology and health
Submissions and Publications
Accepted workshop papers will be included in conference proceedings and published in the BCS
eWIC repository and in the ACM Digital Library. Papers should be anonymised, not exceed 4 pages
