CFP: NSDR2010 - Networked Systems for Developing Regions
by Gaetano Borriello 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

CALL FOR PAPERS 4th ACM Workshop on Networked Systems for Developing Regions (NSDR2010) (now merged with the ACM Wireless Networks and Systems for Developing Regions Workshop - WiNS-DR) Co-located with the 8th Annual International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications and Services (MobiSys 2010) San Francisco, CA, USA June 15th, 2010 http://www.dritte.org/nsdr10 Important Dates * Submission Deadline: April 9, 2010 (23:59 PST) * Notification: May 3, 2010 * Camera-ready: May 17, 2010 * Workshop: June 15, 2010 Background Following three successful workshops of NSDR at SIGCOMM 2007, SIGCOMM 2008 and SOSP 2009, the 4th ACM Workshop on Networked Systems for Developing Regions (NSDR?0) will provide a venue for researchers to propose and discuss ideas concerning the design, implementation and evaluation of new computing and communications technologies to support the sustainable development of developing regions. The 4th NSDR workshop is also merging efforts with the ACM Wireless Networks and Systems for Developing Regions workshop (WiNS-DR) which was co-located with MobiCom 2008. More than a billion, less fortunate, people on this planet survive on less than a dollar a day. Appropriate Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICTD) has the potential to significantly impact the lives of many in the bottom billion. The decreasing cost and increasing access to information and communication technologies (e.g., mobile phones) are rapidly enabling access to new services and markets for previously disconnected populations. However, due to a variety of factors, including cost, literacy, education, and organizational capacity, conventional approaches to technology design and implementation are often not relevant. Addressing this requires engagement of several disciplines, including but not limited to economics, sociology, anthropology, and political science, and expertise in a variety of application areas - including government, health, finance and agriculture. Thus, in addition to considering the specifics of networking protocols and architectures, the aim of the workshop is to consider the entire system by which networking and communication is provided, all the key technical stakeholders, and the overall system lifecycle from economic modeling to deployment. NSDR specifically focuses on the technical networking and systems research challenges that arise in the development of new computing solutions appropriate for developing regions where conventional solutions are often inappropriate and the development of new research approaches and innovative designs and techniques is often required. NSDR solicits papers that either highlight important networking and systems challenges in this space or describe the deployment and evaluation of novel technologies or applications that address a specific need. We encourage submission of position papers or the results of preliminary work describing interesting, original, previously unpublished ideas or results pertaining to the design, implementation and/or evaluation of networks and systems for developing regions. Papers, Topics of Interest We encourage submission of position papers or the results of preliminary work describing interesting, original, previously unpublished ideas or results pertaining to the design, implementation and/or evaluation of networks and systems for developing regions. Accepted papers will: * Propose new research directions; * Target a specific application; * Inform design and/or deployment; and/or * Generate lively debate at the workshop. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Low-cost wireless connectivity * Intermittent and delay-tolerant systems * Rural network planning and spectrum management protocols and techniques * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Location-aware systems * Power-efficient systems * Low-cost computing devices * Mobile systems and applications * Middleware and mechanisms for minimizing energy, latency and storage (caching etc) * Adapting content and applications for local languages * User interfaces for low-literacy populations * Shared access devices and infrastructure, including personalization and privacy concerns * Design and evaluation of applications and in-depth case studies in the areas of public health, microfinance, agriculture, e-governance, education, monitoring, disaster management, etc. Submission Instructions Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages (six pages) in length (including figures and references), must use a minimum 10pt font and minimum 1inch margins, must be in the form of a PDF file, and must follow formatting guidelines and instructions at: http://www.dritte.org/nsdr10/submit.html Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Reviews will be SINGLE-BLIND: authors' names and affiliations should be included in the submission. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference or journal.

Rohit Chaudhri on A Programmable Accessory for Cell Phones
by Yaw Anokwa 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

This Thursday at Change, UW grad student Rohit Chaudhri will presenting his work on A Programmable Accessory for Cell Phones. Rohit says, “Low-tier cell phones like the Nokia 1100, 1200, 2600 etc, are commonly used by individuals from low-income groups in developing regions. While these phones are cheap and affordable (within the $20-$30 range), they do not have a programmable runtime environment like Android, J2ME, Symbian, Windows Mobile etc, as is available on mid to high tier mobile phones. Hence mobile application developers are unable to create applications for these phones. This restricts the services that can be delivered to users of such phones. In this talk I will present an approach to extend the capabilities of low-tier cell phones. This uses a microcontroller-based accessory connected to the phone to achieve the goal. The idea is to use the cell phone for IO and communications, while application specific computation is offloaded to the microcontroller. I will present the high-level architecture of the system and then discuss implementation and platform capabilities. I will show a location aware application based on this platform. Towards the end I will discuss other possible applications. If folks have ideas about how this platform can be used for ICTD research, it would be great to discuss those during the talk. I built this platform during my recent internship at MSR India in Bangalore. In prototype scale production, a completely assembled unit costs around $15. A tech report about this work is available at: http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/?id=117754. If time permits I will mention about other fun projects I was involved in during this awesome internship!” What: Rohit Chaudhri on A Programmable Accessory for Cell Phones When: Thursday, February 4 at Noon Where: UW, Paul Allen Center, Room 203

economist michael spence on economic growth
by Yaw Anokwa 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

if you have an hour and like the economics of development, check out http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2010/01/spence_on_growt.html. Nobel Laureate Michael Spence of Stanford University's Hoover Institution and the Commission on Growth and Development talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the determinants of economic growth. Spence discusses the findings of the Commission's recent report and how it compares to earlier attempts to uncover the sources of growth and the lack of growth such as the Washington Consensus. Spence makes the case for government provision of infrastructure including education and the problems of corruption and governance. The conversation closes with a look at Spence's career and the lessons of that experience. the podcast links (especially the growth report and links to interviews with collier, hanushek, kling and easterly) are also good references.

Join HCDE this Friday for Stephen Vick of Stustainable Harvest
by Yaw Anokwa 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Please join the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) this Friday for our Winter 2010 Usability Issues in HCDE Seminar Series. The presentation format is a 30-minute talk followed by a Q&A session. Members of the UW community and the public are welcome. The week's featured speaker is: Who: Steven E. Vick, Sustainable Harvest Coffee Importers Topic: Global Traceability: Environmental and Technological Challenges in the Developing World When: 12:30-1:20 pm, Friday, January 29, 2010 Where: Loew Hall, room 216 Abstract: For the past 13 years, Sustainable Harvest Coffee Importers has advocated for total traceability and transparency within the coffee supply chain. Since 2003, we have utilized a proprietary, internal tracking system to manage the supply for the 320 containers (13 million pounds) of green coffee we import annually into the United States, Europe, and South Africa. We represent one out of every eight pounds of certified organic green coffee imported into the United States. Because the system has been used strictly internally for the past six years, the available information has been limited to what we could enter through our interactions with producer groups and roaster customers. As food security has become more of a global concern, we have decided to take this system to the next level, opening it up to our entire supply chain - from the coffee grower, to the roaster, to the consumer. My work in East Africa over the past year presented countless opportunities to colle! ct data and understand the challenges we have to consider as we build-out the current piece of the traceability system: an iPhone app that allows coffee washing station managers enter farmer cherry delivery information and track separated daily lots. Bio: For most of 2009 Stephen has been living on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in northwest corner of Tanzania, working with coffee farmers there, as well as in Burundi and Rwanda for Sustainable Harvest Coffee Importers. Prior to his work, Stephen was the Director of Training and Education for Stumptown Coffee Roasters in Portland, Oregon. Working for Stumptown allowed Stephen the opportunity to expand his palette and judge at international coffee competitions around the world including the Cup of Excellence and the World Barista Championship. Further, by visiting places where coffee is grown, it gave Stephen a greater understanding of the challenges facing coffee producers with regards to quality. This understanding has shifted the focus of his work and passion to the producer side of the coffee supply chain, taking a job with Sustainable Harvest Coffee Importers as the head of quality control projects. Stephen earned his Bachelor of Science from the UW's Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering in 2001 and worked on HCDE projects at Zoka Coffee Roaster, a local cafe with an international reputation. During his time at the UW and in Seattle, Stephen rapidly developed an appreciation for coffee and the complex process it undergoes before reaching the consumer's cup. Stephen was born and raised in the great state of Oregon. HCDE's Winter 2010 Usability Speakers Series is scheduled for Fridays, 12:20 - 1:20 pm in room 216 of Loew Hall.

Second Workshop on Technology and Disability in the Developing World June 18th, 2010 http://change.washington.edu/access/workshop_2/ Call for Abstracts: Presentations and Posters Submission Deadline: March 10th, 2010 (we will notify those accepted by April 10th) Following an extremely successful first workshop on Technology and Disability in the Developing World in October 2009, the University of Washington is pleased to announce the second workshop on Technology and Disability in the Developing World on Friday, June 18, 2010. Our first workshop brought together researchers and practitioners interested in technology and disability in the developing world to share knowledge and start building partnerships. The second workshop will focus on low-cost assistive technologies (AT) appropriate for developing country environments. Aspects to consider in addition to affordability when determining appropriateness of AT include safety, durability, utility, maintenance, infrastructure limitations (e.g. lack of electricity, lack of personnel trained in providing AT services), and socio-cultural relevance. Top papers will also be identified for inclusion a leading journal on technology and development. The workshop will be a multi-disciplinary gathering with practitioners, technologists, social scientists, and industry partners. We invite scholars (students and faculty) and practitioners from all disciplines to submit abstracts (1000 words max) addressing one or more of the following topic areas by March 10th, 2010. Selected presenters will be notified by April 10th. On-line submission form will be available February 5th. * Ethnographic research among communities of persons with disabilities in developing countries related to AT * Determining AT user needs in low-resource environments * Innovative low-cost AT products (electronic and non-electronic) currently being used in developing countries * Low-cost AT production for effective use of limited resources (e.g. use of local materials, capacity building of local manufacturing and distribution channels) * AT distribution and support services to increase supply and effective use (e.g. international cooperation, recycling and refurbishment, servicing, AT training programs for people with disabilities and professionals) * Policy issues impacting investment in low-cost AT research, production and delivery * Implementation of Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities articles related to AT * Information technology that is compatible with AT Guidelines: All abstracts must be submitted in English. Total word count, excluding author names, affiliations and titles, must be under 1000 words. Papers and poster abstracts should discuss relevant research and/or program and policy experiences, have a strong evidence base, and include recommendations for advancing low-cost AT for people with disabilities in developing countries. Review and selection: The advisory committee<http://change.washington.edu/access/tddw_advisory> will select a limited number of presentations and posters that best fit the focus of the workshop: low-cost assistive technologies. Other criteria for abstract selection include innovation and demonstrated and/or potential impact on people with disabilities in developing countries. Reviewers will also aim to identify a representative cross section of different disabilities (mobility, visual, hearing, learning/cognitive), regions, and types of AT such as augmentative or alternative communication, computer and cell-phone based AT (hardware and software), prosthetics and orthotics, aids for vision impaired, aids for hearing impaired, and wheelchairs/mobility aids. Note: Due to limited funding, the majority of selected presenters will be responsible for their own travel and related expenses. Attending workshop: If you are not submitting an abstract but are interested in attending this workshop, please fill out this brief form<https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/bmatter/93559>. A limited number of slots will be available and selected attendees will be responsible for their own travel and related expenses. Becky Matter and Joyojeet Pal Co-Chairs
