International Symposium on
Technologies for Social Advancement (T4SA'10)
Wisła, Poland, October 18-20, 2010
The International Symposium on Technologies for Social Advancement will be held within the International Multi-conference on Computer Science and Information Technology in Wisla, Poland, 18-20 October 2010.
T4SA strives to stimulate and promote cross-disciplinary communication between researchers and developers working in different domains with the goal of developing frameworks, applications, and technology for social impact. The type of impact can range from individuals (children,elderly, disabled, illiterate, informal businesses, etc) to communal, and in a variety of areas such as economic and social development, education, advocacy, human rights, and healthcare.
The T4SA symposium will be held as an open forum to promote discussions. The symposium will have a modified format with round table discussions and extended paper presentations. The extended paper presentations will include a regular presentation length and a 15-20 minute discussion period.
The T4SA symposium encourages submissions of original research papers, practical applications and technology, and position papers on all aspects of computing technology connected directly or indirectly with social advancement. We are also looking for ideas about ways to use, deploy, develop and promote the application and use of mobile phones and Internet Technology toward educational and social goals.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
