CSE 590F, Computing and the Developing World Seminar, Tuesdays, 1:30-2:20 PM, CSE 203.
In this seminar course we will look at different aspects of computing in developing countries. We will take an interdisciplinary approach looking at the limitations, possibilities and implications of this field from a variety of perspectives. From the technical side we will look at some of the more interesting problems in developing effective computing technologies and software application for users in these countries. From a social and development perspective we will look at possible technology application areas, including education and e-government, policy issues such as governments and open source software policy, and talking about development issues more broadly in the context of modern technology. The focus of the seminar this term will be on Computing and Global Health, and we will read papers from the health that assess various technologies or provide background in global health.
