Dear colleagues,
GOODTECHS Steering and Organizing committees, due to the current COVID-19
situation, have decided to make our 2020 Edition fully virtual to eliminate
uncertainty and to ensure the health, safety, and well- being of our
research community and society in general.
GOODTECHS has a new firm paper submission deadline: June 1st, 2020.
The dates of the virtual conference remain the same: September 14-16, 2020.
All accepted papers will be published in the ACM International Conference
Proceeding Series — ICPS and made available through the ACM Digital
Library. A mechanism for virtual presentation and participation will be
provided. More details will be announced in a timely manner, so please stay
tuned to the official website for more updates.
Best regards,
The Organizing Committee

==== SCOPE ====
By social good we refer to a “good” or a service that benefits the largest
number of people in the largest possible way. Some classic examples of
social goods are, of course, healthcare, safety, environment, democracy,
and human rights, but we can add to this classic list even communication,
art, entertainment and much more.
In this context, the popularity of portable computing devices, like
smartphones, tablets, or smart watches combined with the emergence of many
other small smart objects with computational, sensing and communication
capabilities coupled with the popularity of social networks and new
human-technology interaction paradigms is creating unprecedented
opportunities for each of us to do something useful, ranging from a single
person to the whole world. Furthermore, Internet of Things, Smart-cities,
distributed sensing and Fog computing are representative examples of modern
ICT paradigms that aim to describe a dynamic and globally cooperative
infrastructure built upon objects’ intelligence and self-configuring
capabilities. These connected objects are finding their way into our
pockets, vehicles, urban areas and infrastructure, thus becoming the very
texture of our society and providing us the possibility, but also the
responsibility, to shape it.
In GOODTECHS (http://www.goodtechs.eu) we are hence interested in
experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and
evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. Clearly, we
are not considering only the so called first world as the scenario for this
evolution; we also refer to those areas where ICT is currently less
widespread, hoping that it may represent a societal development opportunity
rather than a source for further divide.
Inside GOODTECHS, the Work-in-Progress and Ph.D. Track provides an
opportunity to showcase interesting new work that is still at an early
stage. We encourage practitioners and researchers to submit to the
Work-in-Progress venue as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing
valuable ideas, eliciting feedback on early-stage work, and fostering
discussions and collaborations among colleagues. Moreover, this track
provides a platform for Ph.D. students to present and receive feedback on
their ongoing research. Students at different stages of their research will
have the opportunity to present and discuss their research questions,
goals, methods and results. This is an opportunity to obtain guidance on
various aspects of their research from established researchers and other
Ph.D. students working in research areas related to technologies for social
good.

==== PUBLICATION ====
All accepted and presented papers will be published in ACM
International Conference Proceeding Series — ICPS and made available
through the ACM Digital Library.
Papers should be in English.
Regular papers should be up to 6 pages in length.
WIP and PhD track papers should be up to 4 pages in length.
Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may the work be
concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. Such papers will
be rejected without review.
Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services,
Ei Compendex, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, CrossRef, Google Scholar, DBLP,
as well as EAI’s own EU Digital Library (EUDL).
Authors of selected best accepted and presented papers will be invited to
submit an extended version to Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET)
Journal (IF: 2.390)
==== COMMUNITY REVIEW ====
Community Review is a service offered to Program Committees and submitting
Authors of all EAI conferences designed to improve the speed and the
quality of the review process.
Abstracts of all authors who opt in to Community Review during submission
will be published and available for Bidding here.
