Posters are displayed during the Conference and are a great forum for highlighting new or ongoing work of interest to the DEV community! Poster submissions should be 2-page written abstracts in ACM format submitted as a PDF via the posters submission site (http://posters.acmdev.org/). Any full-length paper submission not accepted as full paper will be considered as poster submission, with author permission. In that case, no additional poster abstract submission is required. Posters accepted to the conference will have a 2-page abstract summary indexed in the ACM Digital Library. About ACM DEV-4 DEV-4 provides an international forum for research in the design and implementation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for social and economic development. In particular, we focus on emerging 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. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Networks/Systems/Security/Architecture Low-cost wireless connectivity Intermittent networks and systems Power-efficient systems Low-cost computing devices Mobile systems and applications Mixed networks, e.g., telephony and IP Special-purpose sensor systems Security challenges in developing regions HCI/Applications 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 for health, microfinance, education, agriculture, entertainment AI/NLP/Data Mining/Speech/Vision Machine learning techniques for large-scale data analysis in development contexts Adapting content and applications to local languages and education levels Understanding social relationships and information flows in disadvantaged societies Speech interfaces and speech recognition for low-resource languages Development of new AI-centric tools/solutions for development Computer vision challenges in development We also welcome posters outside of these topics that address the DEV focus on computing innovations supporting social and economic development.
