To apply to become Wild Cards, teams must: * Develop solutions that focus on the regions of the Sahel and the Horn of Africa. * Put forth solutions to the Designated Problem Statement with a focus on innovative financing, technology, or both. The Designated Problem Statement that teams are invited to respond with solutions to is as follows: TECHNOLOGY – MOBILE NETWORKS: Around the globe, mobile devices and network technologies are transforming the way resources flow, people connect, and information is circulated. In the Sahel and Horn of Africa, for instance, mobile payments have transformed the nature of commerce. * How can established and emergent mobile networks and technologies be harnessed to increase the resilience of vulnerable communities/geographies in this region? * Consider how such platforms and technologies could be further developed, applied, and scaled to enhance the resilience of social, ecological, physical, and economic systems * How can current activities be broadened or calibrated to have co-benefits in adjacent spaces? * How can these technological systems, for instance, foster inclusive economies, strengthen and diversify markets, and grow social capital? Applications will be accepted until July 15. Wild Card Team applications with private sector participation are strongly encouraged. In the coming weeks, we will share additional information about an open conference call for potential teams, and further details on the application submission process. Additional questions about the Challenge? Please review Challenge Source Document and the Wild Card Addendum for more information. GRP ANNOUNCEMENTS The Global Resilience Partnership is hiring!

ACM DEV call for papers
by Nicola Dell 20 May '15

20 May '15

ACM DEV-6, November 30 – December 2, 2015 London, England Call for Papers DEV 2015 provides an international forum for research in the design, implementation, and evaluation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for social and economic development. In particular, we focus on 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 topic of ICT for development is inherently multidisciplinary, and encompasses a broad array of fields within the computer science discipline. The ACM DEV conference is an opportunity for researchers across these diverse fields of computer science to come together to work on the common problem of improving access to and availability of information and communication technology solutions. In an effort to encourage participation of researchers across the relevant domains, this year the DEV conference introduces submissions “tracks”. The focus of the conference is research at the interface of computer science and development related to (but not limited to) the following three non-exclusive focus areas: · Systems · HCI and Applications · Data Science We are committed to accepting papers of the very highest quality on the interface between computer science and development. Authors can designate a paper for one or two of these focus areas. Each area has dedicated Program Committee (PC) members to allow appropriate review of papers. Papers will be automatically referred to another track or reviewed by PC members from different tracks where appropriate. The conference itself will have sessions grouped by topic rather than by area. Example topics within focus areas include: *Systems Track* - Low-cost connectivity and computing devices - Network solutions for poorly connected regions, including white space spectrum - Power-efficient systems - Mobile systems and applications - Special-purpose systems, e.g., sensors, wireless, IVR - Systems challenges and opportunities in development, e.g., security, sustainability, resilience - Cellular phone systems and applications - Novel tools and applications for development - Measurements of existing technology in developing regions (e.g. network deployments) *HCI Track* - 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 in health, microfinance, education, agriculture, entertainment, social media - Adapting content and applications to local languages and education levels - Understanding social relationships and information flows in disadvantaged societies *Data Science Track* - Computational sustainability - Computational social science - Econometric models and developmental economics - Data science for social good - Machine learning techniques for large-scale data analysis in development contexts - Speech interfaces and translation for low-resource languages - Computer vision challenges and opportunities in development - Understanding social networks and digital media in developing regions *General Track* We welcome papers outside of the above topics that address the DEV focus on computing innovations supporting social and economic development. Papers should describe original and previously unpublished research. Three metrics will be applied to judge the submissions: (a) Relevance of the problem for development; (b) Novelty of the ideas; (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. Full papers must not exceed 9 pages and all submissions must be in ACM format <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>, submitted as a PDF. Submissions should be fully anonymized. In particular, the names or affiliations of authors should not be included so as to allow for blind review. Papers should be submitted via the submission site <http://papers.acmdev.org/>. As part of the submission process, please indicate one or more tracks for which your submission is best suited. *New: Short Papers on Practical Experiences* This year ACM DEV introduces a “short paper” submissions track to target practical field and/or deployment experience, as well as updates or follow-ups to previously published work, and interesting negative results. Short papers should be 2 pages in length, and should convey work or conclusions that are a direct result of field experience. Papers accepted into the short paper track will be presented in the conference, but will not appear in the conference proceedings. It is hoped that these papers will foster sharing of best practices and/or lessons learned as well as serve as interesting points for discussion during the conference. We particularly encourage submissions from practitioners, NGOs, and others with field experience. Note that these short papers are not posters, but are presentations. *Important Dates:* Submission Deadline: July 15, 2015 - 11:59pm (PST) Acceptance Notification: September 15, 2015 Conference: November 30 – December 2, 2015 (London, UK) http://acmdev.org/

Help contribute to the future of ODK!
by Sam Sudar 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hello, We are researchers in the Open Data Kit (ODK) group at the University of Washington. We are beginning a project that *examines security and privacy concerns *related to mobile data collection, and in particular how these concerns affect Open Data Kit projects/deployments. *This will be used to help inform future work on ODK. * *You can help us by completing a survey:* https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/cobbc12/269967 The survey should take *less than 20 minutes* to complete and will help us gain an understanding of the breadth of security and privacy requirements, concerns, and desires for ODK deployments. We are trying to collect information about the security concerns and requirements at the level of deployments. If you have led or helped lead a deployment of any of the ODK tools, or collected data using mobile devices *with or without ODK*, we would love to get your input. If you have been involved in multiple deployments, please answer this survey about the one you’re most familiar with. If possible, we would prefer to receive just *one response per deployment*. Please also feel free to forward this link to others who have collected data using mobile devices. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for helping us make ODK better!

I am Rajan, a CS PhD student working at UC Santa Cruz and Stanford. As part of my PhD, we're running a research program which can provide an alternate avenue to students aspiring to be future researchers. I'll highly appreciate if you can spread the word among students at UW (tascha, dub, change) or elsewhere. I think they'll find it of great interest. The email can say something like this: ** Calling aspiring researchers for the Stanford Crowd Research Summer Program** Researchers from Stanford University are inviting aspiring researchers to join them in an effort to form the largest crowdsourcing research project ever. The accepted participants will get a chance to design and develop the next-generation crowdsourcing platform, a platform which might challenge the structure of Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Besides, the program will give academic research experience and a chance to co-author paper with researchers at a top-tier conference. Students from any department, pursuing any degree (bachelors, masters or PhD) are encouraged to apply. Deadline for the application is 14th May 2015. Please check: hci.st/joinstanfordresearchers<http://hci.st/joinstanfordresearchers> for more details or contact Rajan Vaish for any questions at rvaish(a)cs.stanford.edu<mailto:rvaish@cs.stanford.edu>. ** Thanks a lot, Rajan
