>
>May 25-26, 2006
>Berkeley, California, U.S.A.

>
>The past decade has witnessed an explosion in projects that apply
>information and communication technologies (ICT) to support socio-economic
>development. Every sector is involved governments, academia, small
>start-ups, large corporations, inter-governmental organizations, and
>non-profits and non-governmental organizations. In spite of the
>tremendous energy and resources behind these projects, scientifically
>sound research in this space is just beginning to emerge. What is the
>actual impact of ICT projects? What novel technology is required to meet
>development needs? What methodologies lead to success or failure of a
>project?
>
>The goal of the ICTD conference is to provide a forum for academic
>researchers working with ICT applied to development. The conference will
>be scientifically rigorous and multi-disciplinary papers reporting
>high-quality original research are solicited. Submitted papers will be
>subjected to double-blind peer review, and a full proceedings will be
>published at the time of the conference. (Best papers, as selected by a
>subset of the program committee, will be published in a special edition of
>the journal, Information Technologies and International Development.)
>
>The conference will bring together researchers in both the social and
>technical sciences, with anticipated representation from anthropology,
>sociology, economics, political science, computer science, electrical
>engineering, industrial design, and so on. We expect this to be the first
>of an ongoing series of conferences to occur every one or two years, and
>moving from country to country.
>
>For the purposes of this conference, the term ICTwill comprise computing
>devices (e.g., PCs, PDAs, sensor networks), technologies for voice and
>data connectivity, the Internet, and related technologies. Application
>domains include, but are not restricted to, education, agriculture,
>healthcare, poverty alleviation, general communication, and
>governance. Papers considering novel design, new technology, project
>assessment, policy impact, content, social issues around ICT for
>development, and so forth will be considered. Well-presented negative
>results from which generalizable conclusions can be drawn are also sought.
>
