Good
(GoodIT 2022)
7–9 September, 2022, 5* St. Raphael Resort & Marina, Limassol,
Cyprus

Scope
ACM GoodIT focuses on the application of IT technologies to social
good. Social good
is typically defined as an action that provides some sort of
benefit to the general public. In this case, Internet connection,
education, and healthcare are all good examples of social goods.
However, new media innovations and the explosion of
online communities have added new meaning to the term. Social good
is now about
global citizens uniting to unlock the potential of individuals,
technology, and collaboration to create positive societal impact.
GoodIT topics include but not limited to:
• IT for education
• Data Science
• Digital solutions for Cultural Heritage
• Data sensing, processing, and persistency
• Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications
• Health and social care
• IT for development
• Privacy and trust issues and solutions
• Sustainable cities and transportation
• Smart governance and e-administration
• IT for smart living
• Technology addressing the digital divide
• IT for automotive
• Frugal solutions for IT
• Ethical computing
• Decentralized approaches to IT
• Citizen science
• Socially responsible IT solutions
• Sustainable IT
• Social informatics
• Civic intelligence

Special Tracks Proposals
GoodIT 2022 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 the 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).
• A tentative Program Committee list.
• A draft Call for Papers (max 1 page).
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
(
https://cyprusconferences.org/goodit2022/index.php/authors/). At
least one of the authors of all accepted papers must register and
present the work at the conference;
otherwise, the paper will not be published in the proceedings. All
accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference
proceedings published in the
ACM Digital Library. The special track may provide an option for
publishing extended
versions of selected papers in a special issue of a journal.
