CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
DataDev 2012
1st International Workshop on Mobile
Data Collection in the Developing World
Co-located with MDM 2012
Bangalore, India
July 23-24, 2012
http://dataworkshop.org/
EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE: April 24, 2012
Ever wonder what REAL organizations need for data collection?
Organizations in the developing world have long been burdened by
managing large-scale data collection efforts. Today, the mobile
revolution has made possible new tools for data collection and
digitization, with the potential to radically transform the management
of data in resource-constrained settings.
The workshop will connect leading organizations, having field operations
in India, with an international cadre of researchers who are developing
the latest tools for collecting and managing data. Our goals are to
identify new research directions, to disseminate the latest technologies
from the lab to the field, and to forge new long-term collaborations
that are beneficial to both researchers and practitioners.
The workshop program will feature:
- short (10-minute) talks by leaders in the field
- a demo/poster session of tools for data collection
- open working sessions to discuss key problems in the domain
