*Computing and Social Good 2018*

*San Francisco, California | 20-22 June 2018 *

*Preliminary Call for Papers*

The first annual ACM SIGCAS Conference on Computing and Social Good (CSG2018) invites submissions of Full Papers for the conference to be hosted at Facebook from June 20-22, 2017. CSG2018 is a re-creation of the ACM DEV conference, which was held annually between 2010 and 2016. The new conference expands the focus of the original conference to explicitly welcome work on underrepresented communities worldwide and to include work on sustainability. To ensure strong technical contributions, the conference will accept papers based on tracks corresponding to the computing areas they draw upon. The tracks for the 2018 conference are Systems, HCI, Data Science, Sustainability and Applications. The CSG conference will have a model of rolling submissions, as has been adopted by several other top conferences. As this is a transition year for the conference, there will be two separate submission dates. Papers submitted on the first deadline may be given the option of revise and resubmit for consideration of acceptance at the conference.

*Important dates*

January 12, 2018. Round one deadline for submission of Full Papers.

February 16, 2018: Round two deadline for submission of Full Papers.

March 2, 2018: Notification of decisions for Full Papers submitted for round one.

March 30, 2018: Deadline for resubmission of round one papers that were not accepted, but invited to resubmit.

March 30, 2018: Notification of decisions for Full Papers submitted for round two.

April 13, 2018: Notification of decisions on resubmitted papers of round one.

May 4, 2018: Camera-ready of Full Papers accepted in rounds one and two due.

*All submission are due 11:59 pm UTC. *

This is a preliminary release of a call for papers for the CSG 2018 conference. As additional details are developed, this call for papers will be revised accordingly. The deadlines for full papers will not change, so researchers can start planning their submissions. Full papers will have a length limit of 10 pages. We anticipate that the conference will have notes or posters; details of requirements for notes will be announced later.
