(*** Submission Deadline Extension (firm!): 6 June, 2022 ***)

Scope

The ACM GoodIT conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions related to the application of information technologies (IT) to social good. Social good is typically defined as something that provides a benefit to the general public. In this context, clean air and water, Internet connection, education, and healthcare are all good examples of social goods. However, new media innovations and the explosion of online communities have added new meaning to the term. Social good is now about global citizens uniting to unlock the potential of individuals, technology, and collaboration to create a positive societal impact.

GoodIT solicits papers that address important research challenges related to, but not limited to:

* Citizen science
* Civic intelligence
* Decentralized approaches to IT
* Digital solutions for Cultural Heritage
* Environmental monitoring
* Ethical computing
* Frugal solutions for IT
* Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications
* Health and social care
* IT for automotive
* IT for development
* IT for education
* IT for smart living
* Privacy, trust and ethical issues in ICT solutions
* Smart governance and e-administration
* Social informatics
* Socially responsible IT solutions
* Sustainable cities and transportation
* Sustainable IT
* Technology addressing the digital divide

Paper Submission

The papers should not exceed eleven (11) pages single-column, including figures, tables, and references in the new ACM format (https://cyprusconferences.org/goodit2022/index.php/authors/ ).

They must be original works and must not have been previously published.

At least one of the authors of all accepted papers must register and present the work at the conference; otherwise, the paper will not be published in the proceedings. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings published in the ACM Digital Library.

In addition to a Main Track, the conference features 9 additional Special Tracks. More information on these tracks is available on the conference web site.

Journal Special Issues and Best Paper Award

Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to two special journal issues:

* FGCS, Elsevier
(https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/future-generation-computer-systems)
* MDPI Sensors, where the theme of the special issue will be "Application 
of Information Technology (IT) to Social Good" 
(https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special
issues/topical
collection_goo 
dit ). Specifically 5 papers will be invited free of charge and another 5 
papers will get a 20% discount on the publication fees.
Furthermore, MDPI Sensors will sponsor a Best Paper Award with the amount of
400 CHF.
Work-in-Progress and PhD Track
Inside ACM GoodIT, the Work-in-Progress and PhD 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 PhD 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 
PhD students working in research areas related to technologies for social 
good.
Important: For this specific track, papers must not exceed nine (9) pages
single column, including figures, tables, and references in the new
ACM format (https://cyprusconferences.org/goodit2022/index.php/authors/ ).
Submission Instructions
All papers must be submitted electronically via the hotcrp web site
(https://goodit2022.hotcrp.com ). Once on the submission page, you will be
able to select the track where to submit your paper.
