Please join us for the second SIGCAS Works in Progress event of 2024 where Julia Gersey will be giving an opening talk on "Fine-Grained Air Quality Sensing with Internet-of-Things" and Dr. Trystan Goetze will be giving a talk on "Soothsayers, Illusionists, Con Artists, and 'Artificial Intelligence'"!
The talks will be on May 3rd 2024 at 12pm EDT (4pm UTC).
Registration is required for the event where you can register here:
We are starting "Works in Progress" talks for 2024 as part of ACM SIGCAS.
We are adding a few new things to the program where people can submit both long and short talks. We encourage researchers, practitioners, and students to submit talks.
If you are interested in presenting at a Work in Progress, please submit your talk using the form below:
https://forms.gle/vcBEoT8ioy1gHegY8
We will then gather responses and create a program for people to present their work.
SIGCAS periodically hosts Work In Progress (WIP) talks where researchers have the opportunity to present their work to the community and have dialogue with people that are interested in their work. If you are interested in presenting at a SIGCAS Work in Progress (WIP) session, please complete the form below. If you are an undergraduate or graduate student, we are interested in hearing about your work! All submissions have an option to submit a short talk that is 10 minutes, a longer talk that is 30 minutes, and a full talk that is 45 minutes. Some sessions may have a small talk in the beginning followed by a longer talk and some may just have a full talk.
Please join us for the first SIGCAS Works in Progress event of 2024 where Dr. Chiara Gallese will be giving a talk about Social Bias in AI systems! The talk be on March 13th at 12pm Eastern. Registration is required for the event where you can register here: https://forms.gle/D3dgw11HAuASj19n6
There will be a QA session after the talk and information on how to connect via Zoom will be sent approximately 24 hours prior to the event.

It's possible to fuse critical perspectives with work in computer science, showing new and fruitful directions for computing professionals and researchers to pursue.
Soon!! 9th annual Computing within Limits Workshop (LIMITS‘23). Virtual & free. June 14 + 15, 2023.
The LIMITS workshop concerns the role of computing in human societies situated in a world of limits. As an interdisciplinary group we seek to reshape the computing research agenda, grounded by an awareness that contemporary computing research is intertwined with ecological limits.

(2/2) With that, I do enjoy going to conferences. It is an opportunity to meet people face to face and to network that in some ways can be challenging to do successfully virtually. But, making it a requirement in order to participate in our discipline does not make a whole lot of sense. Should ACM start to require conferences to support hybrid presentation models? Should @sigcas do this for the conferences it sponsors?

The next ACM SIGCAS Works in Progress event is now available for registration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sigcas-works-in-progress-technology-of-the-oppressed-tickets-601461456407
This looks to be an interesting talk from David Nemer where it will focus on how Brazilian favela residents use — and appropriate — technologies to fight oppression in their lives and to represent themselves in the world.
