ACM DEV 2013
3rd Symposium on Computing for Development
Co-located with COMSNETS
January 11-12, 2013
Bangalore, India
http://dev2013.org/
Important Dates:
Poster abstracts due: October 19, 2012 (11:59pm UTC) - firm deadline
Author notification: October 26, 2012
Camera-ready: December 7, 2012
Conference: January 11-12, 2013
Submission instructions: http://dev2013.org/submissions.html
DEV 2013 provides an international forum for research in the design and
implementation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for
social and economic development. In particular, we focus on emerging
contexts where conventional computing solutions are often inappropriate
due to various contextual factors - including, but not limited to, cost,
language, literacy, and the availability of power and bandwidth.
The poster deadline for DEV 2013 is still open. Poster abstracts are
limited to 2 pages and should describe original and previously
unpublished research, innovative experiments, and work in progress. All
DEV poster submissions should either provide or directly motivate a
novel technical solution that has direct implications for development.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Networks/Systems/Security/Architecture
Low-cost wireless connectivity
Intermittent networks and systems
Power-efficient systems
Low-cost computing devices
Mobile systems and applications
Mixed networks, e.g., telephony and IP
Special-purpose sensor systems
Security challenges in developing regions
HCI/Applications
User interfaces for low-literacy populations
Multi-lingual computing
User-interfaces for low-cost devices
Participatory methods and user-centered design
Accessibility to disabled populations in developing regions
Design and evaluation of applications for health, microfinance,
education, agriculture, entertainment
AI/NLP/Data Mining/Speech/Vision
Machine learning techniques for large-scale data analysis in
development contexts
Adapting content and applications to local languages and education
levels
Understanding social relationships and information flows in
disadvantaged societies
Speech interfaces and speech recognition for low-resource languages
Development of new AI-centric tools/solutions for development
Computer vision challenges in development
We also welcome submissions outside of these topics that address the DEV
focus on computing innovations supporting social and economic development.
