Innovations for Digital Inclusion

31 August – 1 September 2009
Mar del Plata, Argentina

Innovations for Digital Inclusion (31 August – 1 September 2009) is the second in a series of peer-reviewed
academic conferences that aim at increasing the dialogue between experts working on the standardization of
information and communication technologies (ICTs) and academia. This event will focus on how ICT standardization
can promote digital inclusion, exploring how technology can turn “digital divide” into a “digital opportunity”.
Technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, the conference will focus on analysing five-years-
and-beyond technologies, services and applications that will capitalize on NGN infrastructure and promote digital
inclusion.
Cash awards of 5k, 3k and 2k USD will be granted during the conference to the best three papers, as judged by
the organizing and programme committees.
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings, presented during the conference, and made available in
the IEEE Xplore online catalogue.
Authors presenting accepted papers who have not yet received a PhD title will also receive a young author
recognition certificate.
