ACM GOODIT Conference Call for Special Tracks Proposals
4-6 September 2024, Bremen, Germany
https://blogs.uni-bremen.de/goodit2024/
Scope
GoodIT 2024 will feature special tracks whose aim is to focus on a specific topic of interest related to the overall scope of the conference.

We solicit proposals for special tracks to be held within the main conference and whose publications will be included in conference proceedings. Tracks proposals can focus on any contemporary themes that highlight social good aspects in the design, implementation, deployment, securing, and evaluation of IT technologies.  
Special Track Proposal Format
A special track proposal must contain the following information:
Title of the special track
The names of the organizers (indicatively, two) with affiliations, contact information, and a single paragraph of a brief bio.
A short description of the scope and topics of the track (max 1/2 page) and a brief explanation of: (1) why the topic is timely and important; (2) why the topic is related to the conference’s main theme; (3) why the track may attract a significant number of submissions of good quality.
Indication if a journal special issue is associated with the track, possibly with information on the process of selecting papers.
The plan to disseminate the call for papers of the special track for achieving a reasonable number of paper submissions (a list of emailing lists will help).
An outline of the foreseen reviewing process to ensure the scientific quality of the accepted papers including a tentative list of program committee members.
A draft call for papers (max 1 page).
Selection of Special Tracks
Accepted Special Tracks will be curated by the Special Track Chairs, possibly involving other members of the conference’s organizing committee, and possibly discussing details with the Track Proposers.

 
Publication
Papers submitted to each particular track have to satisfy the same criteria as for the main conference. They must be original works and must not have been previously published. They have to be peer-reviewed by the track’s Program Committee (at least three reviews per submitted paper are required). The final version of papers must follow the formatting instructions of the main conference. At least one of the authors of all accepted papers must register and present the work at the conference on site; otherwise, the paper will not be published in the proceedings. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings published in ACM Digital Library. The special track may provide an option for publishing the extended versions of selected papers in a special issue of a journal.  
Special Track Proposal Submission Guidelines
The proposal should be submitted as a single PDF file to the special track chairs (see below) via email  to: ombretta.gaggi at unipd.it and jochen.meyer at offis.de. The subject of the e-mail must be: “GoodIT 2024 – special track proposal”. The special tracks chairs may ask proposers for supplying additional information during the review period.
Important Dates
Proposal Submission Deadline:  March 3rd, 2024
Notification of Selection: March 8th, 2024
Paper submission deadlines must be the same as for the main conference (indicative: submission May 19th; NoA July 7th; camera-ready July 21st)
