Annotation	The case is argued for the creation of a specific research action concerning information systems and services for older and disabled people within the context of the information society. Such specific action for the provision of assistive technology is a necessity, in view of developments, challenges and opportunities in four main areas: society, economy, industry and market, and users. The main research objective would be to open up the information society for all citizens. Measures to bring this about include: assistive systems and services; design for all; long term research; and other measures such as disseminating best practice. (RH).
