SUMMARY:12th International Conference on Social Implications of Computers in Developing Countries
DESCRIPTION:Conference Theme: Into the Future: Themes\, insights and agendas for ICT4D research and practice\n\n\nThe Working Group 9.4 of the International Federation for Information Processing gathers scholars and practitioners that deal with the issue on how ICT affects social development. In the last three decades this issue has been attracting scholars from information systems and a variety of other areas such as development studies\, political science\, political economy\, social anthropology\, and sociology. \nThe theme of the 12th International Conference of the IFIP 9.4 Working Group 2013 in Jamaica is “Into the Future.” The importance of this theme is fundamental to our research domain\, namely how might information and communication technologies shape the future of development within developing counties.  At the conference we seek to not only present scholarly conference papers in and around the different tracks but also to provoke thought and discussion in and around how we might set the agenda for the future for ICT4D research and practice.  Thus we seek to problematize the past\, present and the future of ICT4D. \nTo do this we welcome contributions from a wide range of perspectives.  We want to think through the future agenda in the area of ICT4D for theory\, methodology and practice.  This requires us to not only make clear our own positions but to encourage us to actively question them.  The conference thus will seek to promote critical debate across a range of perspectives. \nIn order to organize the discussion\, we propose 16 different tracks. In addition to papers from the field of information systems\, we also welcome multidisciplinary papers. \nWho Should Attend\nThe conference will bring together academics\, practitioners (from the private sector\, NGOs\, and public sector)\, and policy advisors who are involved with ICT and development in developing countries.
