* Rural network planning
* 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.
