by Richard Anderson 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

The computing and the developing world seminar meets Wednesdays at 4pm in CSE 403. (This is a change from the originally scheduled time). The first talk for the quarter is **TODAY**. //// CSE 590F, Wednesday, January 7, 4:00 pm, CSE 403 Androids in the Bush: an Update on UReport and its Alpha-Pilot in Uganda Gaetano Borriello Dept of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Washington and Google-Seattle/Google.org Abstract: UReport seeks to create a public domain framework for data collection to support a wide-range of applications from public health to environmental monitoring. It is based on Google's G1 (Android) and an AppEngine back-end that will result in a highly modularized system to which different communities can contribute modules. We began this past summer and fielded our "version 0" this fall in the context of a collaborative project with Grameen AppLab in Uganda that seeks to assess the usability and utility of an agricultural tips SMS application (deployed by Google). In this talk, we'll discuss the current state of UReport, our experience in Uganda, the issues that arose and how we plan to address them, and outline some of the future deployments we are considering.

Call for Demos - International Conference on ICT and Development 2009
by Yaw Anokwa 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

CALL FOR DEMOS - International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD 2009) The 3rd IEEE/ACM International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD 2009) will be held 17-19 April 2009 at Carnegie Mellon's state-of-the-art campus in Doha, Qatar. This conference will act as a focal point for new scholarship in the field of ICT and international development. Confirmed speakers include a Keynote by William H. Gates, Chairman of Microsoft Corporation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. We invite submissions of demonstrations for ICTD 2009. The demo session provides researchers and practicioners a venue for showcasing live demonstrations of their work. The focus of a demonstration may span novel hardware or software systems, video footage, or physical artifacts unsuitable for presentation in the poster or oral sessions. Unlike ICTD 2009 papers, the subject of a demo may have been published previously, either in ICTD or in other venues. However, the demonstration itself should be new and interesting to the ICTD community, and should reflect work that is at least as mature as a poster presentation. Demo submissions may represent research projects, commercial tools, or government initiatives. Both novel projects as well as well-established systems are invited for demonstration. At the conference, all demonstrations will be presented in parallel with an interactive audience (comparable to a poster session). At least one author of each accepted demo must register for the conference and attend to present the demo. IMPORTANT DATES January 30, 2009 Demo abstracts due February 10, 2009 Final decisions sent out to demo presenters February 20, 2009 Camera-ready demo abstracts due April 17-19, 2009 Conference SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Presenters must submit a 1-page abstract that describes the context, novelty, and significance of the demonstration, including a precise description of exactly what is to be demonstrated (hardware, software, etc.) Each submission should include a title; the names, affiliations, and contact emails for all authors; as well as a brief abstract (~100 words). Authors should follow IEEE formats and styles. Samples of this format are also available in PDF and MS Word formats. Demo submissions will be reviewed by the demo co-chairs. We expect to publish accepted demo abstracts in the conference proceedings (this will be confirmed later). Authors would be required to sign a copyright release prior to publication. To submit to the demo session, send email to demos(a)ictd2009.org with the following information: * Your 1-page abstract in PDF or MS Word format * Requirements for your demonstration, including: - A/V equipment - Electrical outlets - Internet connectivity - Unusual space or setup requirements CONFERENCE FOCUS The goal of the ICTD conference is to provide a forum for academic researchers and scholarly practitioners working with ICT applied to development. The conference will be scientifically rigorous and multi-disciplinary - papers reporting high-quality original research are being solicited. The conference will bring together researchers and reflective practitioners in both the social and technical sciences, with anticipated representation from anthropology, sociology, economics, political science, computer science, electrical engineering, industrial design, and the like., in addition to domain specialists in various development fields such as healthcare, agriculture, enterprise, education, governance, etc. For the purposes of this conference, the term "ICT" will comprise computing devices (e.g., PCs, PDAs, sensor networks), technologies for voice and data connectivity, the Internet, and related technologies. Application domains include, but are not restricted to, education, agriculture, enterprise, healthcare, poverty alleviation, general communication, and governance. VENUE Qatar is a rapidly growing economy in the region and the world which has set its targets of moving beyond a hydrocarbon economy into becoming a regional and global leader in knowledge and information. Qatar is a modern, stable nation with a vibrant international population, and hosted the Asian Games in 2007. Education City brings leading educational and research institutions to Qatar, including Cornell, Georgetown, Texas A&M, and Carnegie Mellon in Qatar offers degree programs in Computer Science, Business Administration, and Information Systems. This provides an ideal venue for hosting ICTD 2009, in a geographic location close to major population centers around the world, easily accessible by direct flights.

software management position in Nairobi
by neal lesh 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Experienced software developer sought to live in Nairobi, Kenya to - provide technical management to junior Kenyan developers, and - help shape a new strategy to enhance capacity for open source software development in low-income countries. We are promoting "Coded in Country" (CIC) as a "FairTrade" label for software projects. Software is certified as "Coded in Country" if at least 50% of the software development budget was spent on local developers. This concept has been met with great enthusiasm by many organizations developing health applications for low-income countries. The experienced developer will supervise and mentor three junior programmers at a CIC node operated by DataDyne.org and specializing in mobile applications including EpiSurveyor and JavaROSA. The technical manager will attend at least one relevant international conference per year, as will the programmers. The position covers travel expenses, living costs, and a small stipend. 12 month commitment required. If interested, please send a CV and brief statement of interest to Joel Selanikio (jselanikio(a)datadyne.org)
