<font size="-1">Millions of individuals of all ages
experience permanent or temporary sensor, motor or
cognitive limitations. The "cost" associated with these
disabilities includes not only those incurred through
medical and support services, but also less tangible
costs, such as those due to lost wages and
non-productivity. Computer-based Assistive and
Rehabilitation Technologies offer tools, devices, systems
and services that can be used to correct, enable,
maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of
individuals with disabilities. As a relieving measure,
Assistive Technologies' scope is twofold: at first, to
enable a more independent daily life, whether by providing
assisted mobility, communication, or health, and either at
home, school or work; and secondly, to offer all the
benefits of an inclusive participation in the information
society, from the more passive web content accessibility
to the full participation in social media and all other
Internet services. At the same time, as a corrective
measure, the goals of Rehabilitation are to eliminate or
at least ameliorate life-limiting disabilities and
facilitate community re-entry. That is, while restoration
of function is the most positive outcome of
rehabilitation, compensatory strategies are also employed
when the natural functions cannot be fully restored.<br>
IEEE CIR2AT'2016 will highlight the latest results from
world leading research labs, academia and industry in the
fields of Computational Intelligence applied to both
Assistive Technology and Robotic Rehabilitation.</font><br>

<div>
<div>SSCI is a flagship annual international conference on
computational intelligence sponsored by the IEEE
Computational Intelligence Society. <br>
All accepted paper will appear in IEEE Xplore Digital
Library and indexed by EI, SCOPUS etc. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>As a tradition, IEEE SSCI 2016 will co-locate a number
of symposiums, each dedicated to a special topic related
to computational intelligence, thereby providing a unique
platform for promoting cross-fertilization.<br>
SSCI 2016 will be featured by cross-symposium tutorials,
keynote speeches, panel discussions, PhD consortia, oral
presentations and poster sessions. Student grants, Best
paper Awards and Student Best Paper Award will be given.</div>
