HiPC 2019 WOMEN IN COMPUTING
https://hipc.org/women-in-computing/
18 December 2019 – Hyderabad, India

Computing has become a ubiquitous influence in current times and is
set to have an ever-increasing presence in the coming years. This will
have a huge impact on the kind of technology that is going to be
available to the layman. Given the young population, an emerging
economy like India has, it is important that they are aware of the
various technological advances that are being done, the huge amount of
compute power that is available now and the means to leverage the two
to resolve significant social issues that exist in the country.

The goal of the “Women in Computing” event is to provide a platform
for technology enthusiasts who are using compute power to design and
invent solutions to problems pertaining to social good, and for women
technologists, both current and prospective, to participate, present
their work and popularize opportunities, challenges, and solutions, in
the realm of responsible use of computing. The participants will have
the opportunity to interact with experts in HPC and Data Science,
leverage their expertise and form collaborations.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Computing has become a ubiquitous influence in current times and is
set to have an ever  increasing presence in the coming years. This
will have a huge impact on the kind of technology that is going to be
available to the layman. Given the young population, an emerging
economy like India has, it is important that they are aware of the
various technological advances that are being done, the huge amount of
compute power that is available now and the means to leverage the two
to resolve significant social issues that exist in the country.

The goal of the “Women in Computing” event is to provide a platform
for technology enthusiasts who are using compute power to design and
invent solutions to problems pertaining to social good, and for women
technologists, both current and prospective, to participate, present
their work and popularize opportunities, challenges, and solutions, in
the realm of responsible use of computing. The participants will have
the opportunity to interact with experts in HPC and Data Science,
leverage their expertise and form collaborations. We invite
submissions of papers on original work in interdisciplinary domains
with methodologies spanning across data science and high-performance
computing.

Topics of interest related to methodologies include, but are not
limited to the following:
* IoT-based, and/or data-driven analysis,
* Real-time decision making for edge computing,
* Visual analytics for large-scale and/or high-dimensional data,
* Machine learning or deep learning algorithms or systems,
* Artificial intelligence and/or robotics,
* Distributed and cloud-based systems.

These methodologies must be used in solutions stemming from unique
ideas to solve pertinent socially relevant problem scenarios.
Scenarios in interdisciplinary domains of interest include, but are
not limited to the following:
* Traffic planning and control,
* Monitoring infant health in primary health centers,
* Large-scale medical diagnosis for reducing the requirement of
skilled doctors,
* Low-cost ways of determining air/water quality and improving the quality,
* Food processing methods that reduce wastage of produce,
* Methods to reduce pesticide usage,
* Solid waste collection, and management,
* Women safety,
* Accessibility and differently-abled inclusivity.

MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES
Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may
not exceed six (6) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point
size font on 8.5 × 11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including
figures, tables, and references. See IEEE style templates at this page
at this page for details. Electronic submissions must be in the form
of a readable PDF file. All manuscripts will be reviewed by the
Program Committee and evaluated on originality, the relevance of the
problem to the conference theme, technical strength, rigor in
analysis, quality of results, and organization and clarity of
presentation of the paper.

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is
not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers
not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and
further action may be taken, including (but not limited to)
notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and
sponsors of the conference. Presentation of an accepted paper at the
event is a requirement of publication. Papers will be selected for
full-paper and short-paper types. Any paper that is not presented at
the conference will not be included in the proceedings of HiPC
Workshops.

We require that the submission include at least one female author.

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper Submission: September 30, 2019
Notification to Authors: October 20, 2019
Camera-ready submissions: October 31, 2019
