Descripción: Inspired by the broad agenda of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ACM COMPASS 2020 aims to publish significant and original research from a broad array of computer and information sciences, social sciences, environmental sciences and engineering fields that support the growth of sustainable societies worldwide, especially including under-represented and marginalized communities. The ACM COMPASS 2020 conference aims to explicitly promote interdisciplinary research work—including new methodologies, systems, techniques, applications, and behavioral, qualitative, and quantitative studies—that addresses key societal challenges related to sustainability, gender equality, health, education, poverty, accessibility, conservation, climate change, energy, infrastructure, and economic growth, among others. We also welcome research on the ethics of technology, especially from a critical perspective, to discuss limitations and concerns with technology-led solutions for sustainable societies. To ensure strong research contributions, the ACM COMPASS 2020 conference will review papers based on focus tracks corresponding to the research areas they draw upon.

Authors of accepted submissions will be asked to give an approx. 20 minutes presentation of their research work. Presentations should include research results, interesting research questions, and open issues to be discussed during the conference. Each accepted paper must have a corresponding registered author to be included in the proceedings. Papers that do not have an associated registered author will not be included in the proceedings. We cannot warrant the paper to appear in the proceedings if registration is not done within time limits.Fecha de inicio:2016-11-23T00:00:00ZFecha de Fin:2016-11-25T00:00:00ZCiudad:Guayaquil
