5th International Conference on Information and
Communication Technology and Accessibility
ICTA'15 December, 21-23 2015 Marrakech, Morroco
ICTA is a bi-annual international conference on ICT & Accessibility. The
fifth edition of ICTA 2015 will be held in Marrakech, Morocco, and organized by
the ENSIAS College of Engineering, Mohammed V University of Rabat, the Research
Laboratory of Technologies of Information and Communication and Electrical
Engineering (LaTICE) of the University of Tunis and the Tunisian association of
E-accessibility with the support of the Arab League Educational, Cultural and
Scientific Organization (ALECSO). ICTA2015 is also co-sponsored by IEEE
Moroccan Section.
The conference explores several areas related to ICT and education with special
focus on Technology Enhanced Education for people with disabilities. Therefore,
we invite submission of high-quality and original papers, whether related to
academic or industrial research niches. Submitted papers should propose new
approaches and original tools, assess solutions, report experiences, reviews
the state of the arts, etc. All submissions will be double-blindly peer-reviewed
by an international program committee. Accepted papers, posters and
demonstrations will be published in the IEEXplore and indexed in DBLP. At least
one author of the accepted submissions must register as the presenter. The
participation of users from different disciplines will be welcome as
accessibility and education are across-cutting disciplines. Views bridge
academia, civil society, commerce, and industry and arguments encompassing a
range of beliefs across the design-accessibility spectrum are presented.

CONFERENCE VENUE
ICTA 2015 will be held at Marrakech city-Morocco. The hotel
where the conference will take place is the Kenzi Farah Hotel 5*
Marrakech. For more information visit: http://www.kenzi-hotels.com/kenzifarah/
Marrakech is a beautiful city where glimpses of medievalism can still be
glimpsed amid its modern buildings of business. There still is a Marrakech
Express train, and the city, which sits on the edge of the Atlas Mountains, can
trace its founding almost 1,000 years, to AD 1062. A famed tourism destination
since hippies, hipsters and The Rolling Stones discovered it in the late 1960s,
Marrakech’s ancient city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site. More than two
million visit here every year. With more than 12 miles of walls edging parts of
its interior, its souks (or markets) are the biggest draw, but as an Imperial
city there are numerous and gorgeous squares – especially Djamaa El Fna, and
mosques and other architecturally important buildings.
