Item 1: CFP for way-finding symposium
13:35:45 [christos]
q+
13:35:46 [Vivienne]
SA: has re-worked the CFP so that it still retains the meaning, but makes it more compact. Has put in some of the objectives that were removed previously
13:36:02 [shadi]
Topic: CFP for way-finding symposium
13:36:54 [Vivienne]
Christos: surprised to see the edit. Concerned about that we are talking about technologies and this may be discourage some of the development but doesn't really use web technologies in the core or main part of the presentation.
13:36:57 [Vivienne]
zakim, mute me
13:36:57 [Zakim]
Vivienne should now be muted
13:37:11 [shadi]
ack chr
13:37:26 [Vivienne]
Christos: they may have done something new to communicate to direction in a mobile application, this might discourage me from submitting a paper
13:38:18 [Vivienne]
Christos: do we want people not to feel encouraged to submit? Shouldn't we leave a door open to R&D that doesn't use web technologies as the main technology of the application, but it might be possible to use web technologies in the future in the application.
13:38:46 [Vivienne]
SA: maybe I went a bit too far and this might discourage people who aren't developing web applications but it might benefit those who are using web technologies
13:39:09 [Vivienne]

q- viv
13:42:47 [Vivienne]
I'm happy with the background section, but wonder if the first sentence could be re-worded so that it isn't closed to just 'web technologies'
13:43:19 [Vivienne]
Annika: like the focus on web technology part. Maybe have web technologies not the first word in this section. Also agree with Christos that '
13:43:37 [Vivienne]
it's not only about systems already using that technology but also those that are considering web technologies in the future
13:44:33 [Vivienne]
SA: keep this in mind also for the scope section - also those considerations that can benefit from web technologies rather than those who are currently using them
13:45:07 [christos]
+q
13:45:47 [Vivienne]
Christos: I think it is really good and concise. We are working in this domain, using official information from met and hospital with legal implications on accessibility and cloud security. The accessibility of editing function for PWD who can annotate and bring information into a system.
13:46:02 [Vivienne]
SA: let's look at this in the scope section also
13:46:37 [Vivienne]
SA: was trying to describe so many dimensions by using the buzzwords and wanted it to be more than that
13:46:58 [Vivienne]
SA: with regard to the challenges, I tried to frame these in the scope area and not too much in the background area
13:47:47 [Vivienne]
Christos: in the background missing systems that let you explore places, accommodation etc.
13:47:56 [Vivienne]
Is this the trip-planning aspect Christos?
13:48:12 [christos]
some how
13:48:17 [christos]
like foursquare
13:48:29 [christos]
yelp... etc
13:50:44 [Vivienne]
SA: these bullet points in the background aren't exclusive, you could have an airport system that encompasses more than navigation but also interactive and orientation
13:51:40 [Vivienne]
I'm having a bit of trouble hearing with the background noises
13:52:34 [Vivienne]
SA: how does an interactive guide relate to a way-finding system, but something like 'yelp' says whether a restaurant offers a certain type of food
13:53:21 [Vivienne]
Christos: we can use information that is currently existing ? not sure what else was said here, but Christos' background noise makes it hard to hear
13:55:50 [shadi]
"Examples of web-based maps, crowd-sourced reviews, and public data with accessibility information demonstrate the use of the Web to augment the physical world"
13:56:30 [Vivienne]
SA: : different from repositors with information and how that can be used in a way-finding sy normation
13:57:24 [Vivienne]
Annika: these are sources of information - like a database
13:57:37 [Vivienne]
SA: Christos did you want this incorporated more?

14:05:50 [christos]
or maybe
14:05:52 [annika]
christos: Move "web-based" to the end of the sentence "What kinds of technologies, systems, and applications entail potential benefits for accessible way-finding and how can web technologies support this?"

14:13:55 [annika]
christos: Please add a reference to crowd sourcing in the data sources section.
14:14:02 [annika]
shadi: ok.
14:14:44 [annika]
... we can add crowd sourcing explicitly in the data sources section.
14:15:46 [annika]
christos: Add "examples of data sources could be web-based data sources, crowd sourcing, etc."
14:16:02 [annika]
shadi: "web-based" will be removed anyway.
14:16:23 [christos]
What types of data sources (annotations, web-based, crowd-sourced, etc) provide or can provide accessibility-related information?
14:17:19 [annika]
shadi: Agree that social media are important but we should not put too much weight on it.

14:20:20 [annika]
shadi: There are also some edits to the introduction.
14:20:31 [annika]
shadi: Let's look at the timeline.
14:21:09 [annika]
... We don't have enough people on the call today to decide on the CfP.
14:21:44 [annika]
... We will send the updated CfP to the group for approval by Friday.
14:22:07 [annika]
... That means we can announce the CfP on Tuesday.
14:22:39 [annika]
christos: Tuesday is no problem.
14:23:11 [annika]
shadi: Ok, the CfP will be announced on Tue 16th.
14:23:33 [annika]
... That means 4.5 weeks for submission.
14:23:45 [annika]
... Are we fine with this?
14:24:34 [annika]
... Should we push it by one week?
14:25:21 [annika]
christos: We could push the dates by 3-4 days and still do the symposion on the 3rd Dec.
14:25:47 [annika]
... Five week should be sufficient at this time of year.
14:26:36 [annika]
shadi: Ok, then we keep the deadlines as they are.
14:27:07 [annika]
annika: If some people request, we can give them a few more days for the submission.
14:27:28 [annika]
shadi: the only thing that can't be changed is the symposium date.
14:28:05 [annika]
shadi: Some submission will be very bad html.
14:28:23 [annika]
... That means additional work for the editors.
14:28:57 [annika]
... The elearning used a word template that could be converted into html.
14:29:14 [annika]
... html tends to be worse the word.
14:29:28 [annika]
christos: ok. I've been there ...
14:29:57 [annika]
... We can manage that.
14:30:05 [Vivienne]
I'd like to keep the symposeium on the 3 December because it's a good date to hold it
14:30:19 [Vivienne]
Sorry, I'm back. I've heard everything but couldn't respond.
14:30:35 [Vivienne]
I'm sure we'll be okay with the work involved with converting into HTML.
14:30:43 [annika]
annika: yes, we should be abele to manage the html part.
14:30:47 [Vivienne]
I'm also wanting to keep to the December 3 deadline.
