Subject: LIMITS 2020 outreach and promotion

Hi Jay,
Barath and I are reaching out to all of the LIMITS organisers to drum up
some interest and promotion of the workshop, our distributed workshop
plan and new paper format.
It would be a huge favour to us if you could reach out personally to
people you know might be interested and see if they’re interested in
submitting a paper for LIMITS 2020.
We’re doing this outreach earlier this year as we are looking for more
generation contributions focusing on what we’ve branded as "future
systems paper” where there is an empirical contribution towards a LIMITS
2030 future (more details below).
Warm regards,
Oliver and Barath

LIMITS 2020
Sixth Workshop on Computing within Limits
June 21-22, 2020
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__airmail.calendar_2020-2D06-2D21-252012-3A00-3A00-2520BST&d=DwMGaQ&c=slrrB7dE8n7gBJbeO0g-IQ&r=Y4keZ-3UYBHkmzEEBA--Ug&m=eDTzCTfjSr2azRYyTza3QR6KZ1qM4OSD2ZzTNGdswDo&s=EHS0KQySbrwz3QfecsCabPRYMqM1Gwp8cFtPRufyfpo&e=>

The LIMITS workshop concerns the role of computing in a human society
affected by real-world limits (ecological or otherwise). We seek to
reshape the computing research agenda as these topics are seldom
discussed in contemporary computing research. LIMITS 2020 solicits
papers looking ahead to 2030, as described below.
This year, LIMITS will be a distributed workshop between USC (Los
Angeles, California, USA) and University of Bristol (UK). All main
sessions will be held in parallel (morning in Los Angeles, evening in
Bristol), with local events in addition to these main sessions. LIMITS
in the UK will be co-located with ICT4S.
LIMITS 2020 aims to reach computing researchers outside of the LIMITS
community who might ask: "what does research in a LIMITS future look like?"
Suppose the ideas of LIMITS have diffused throughout both computing
research and broader society, such that LIMITS 2030, ten years from now,
need not exist as a separate venue. What would researchers and engineers
be building in that future world?
To reach this audience, we solicit papers on "future systems". Such
systems are socio-technical systems that are responsive to the LIMITS
2030 world that might exist. This year we specifically discourage
"critical", "analysis", and similar types of papers.
A future systems paper concerns the design, implementation, and/or
evaluation of a real tool, system, app, or any other artifact situated
in a future (year 2030) world. Such contributions would be of a flavor
that could be imagined to be published in a more applied venue of
computing (e.g., UIST for HCI researchers, NSDI for networked systems
researchers, etc.). That is, if the researchers from more-applied,
less-critical areas of computing were to shift their topics of interest
to align with this envisioned world of 2030, what would they build?
Empirical evaluation is strongly encouraged; papers without an empirical
evaluation are acceptable if they provide substantial evidence regarding
the practical usefulness of the future system(s) described.
We look to a classic vision outlined by Donella Meadows (see LIMITS
website for details) for the future world of 2030 papers should be
placed within. That is, authors should imagine that one or more of the
economic, societal, business, energy, and other changes that Meadows
describes here are already coming into being, but require computing to
help them take shape.
