February 2004 Assistive Technology Day

The Assistive Technology Day for February will be a presentation on a new audit
and remediation software "Expert Fixer" as well as the web based tool "Ocawa."
Both tools employ state-of-the-art artificial intelligence based technology from
Urbilog. Urbilog is a small French company specializing in accessibility issues
for the internet and beyond. Their services include web-accessibility auditing
and consulting (with full knowledge of the WAI's WCAG and the U.S. Government's
Section 508 requirements). Urbilog is adopting a new general approach to control
systems for web information. They are coming to the USA to meet with those in
the Federal Government and private sector and are showing this software to the
U.S. public for the first time.
