Computing and Sustainable Societies 2019 Accra, Ghana | 3-5 July 2019 Conference Announcement This is a preliminary announcement of the second annual ACM SIGCAS Conference on Computing and Sustainable Societies (COMPASS2019) which will be held in Accra, Ghana from July 3-5, 2019. COMPASS is a re-creation of the ACM DEV conference, which was held annually between 2010 and 2016. The first COMPASS was held in Menlo Park, California in 2018. The COMPASS conference expands the focus of the original ACM DEV conference to explicitly welcome work on underrepresented communities worldwide and to include work on sustainability. To ensure strong technical contributions, the conference will accept papers based on tracks corresponding to the computing areas they draw upon. The tracks for the 2018 conference were Systems, HCI, Data Science/AI, and Applications. Accra, Ghana, as the capital of a dynamic west African nation will be an excellent venue for the conference to bring together researchers working in areas of information and communication for development (ICTD), HCI, computational sustainability, and AI for social impact. The conference will be held at a hotel in downtown Accra. The conference will have full papers and notes. The program committee chairs will be announced soon along with a call for papers. The submission date is likely to be in March 2019.
