Call for Papers
[[Copied from the DEV-4 Website]]


DEV-4 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.

Papers should describe original and previously unpublished research. Three 
metrics will be applied to judge papers: (a) Relevance of the problem for 
development; (b) Novelty of the technical solution; (c) Evaluation of the 
solution, making a case for development-focused impact. All DEV paper 
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 papers outside of these topics that address the DEV focus on 
computing innovations supporting social and economic development. For more 
information, see the webpage (http://dev4.acmdev.org/) or contact the Program 
Co-Chairs (Margaret Martonosi, Princeton and Bhaskaran Raman, IIT Bombay
