Call for Full Papers

The COMPASS’24 full papers process will be handled by the ACM Journal on Computing and Sustainable Societies (JCSS). Papers must be submitted to JCSS following the JCSS author guidelines. JCSS submission tracks include: 

  • Systems and IoT for Sustainable Societies 
  • HCI, Design and Critical Perspectives 
  • AI, ML and Data Science for Sustainable Societies 
  • Development, Economics and Policy 
  • Environment, Sustainability and Climate Change 
  • Technology, Media, and Social Practice 

 Papers can be submitted to JCSS at any time, on a rolling basis. Reviews and decisions (accept/minor revision; revise and resubmit; or reject) will be sent to authors roughly 3 months after the initial submission. Papers that receive an initial decision of “revise and resubmit” must resubmit their revised paper no earlier than one month and no later than six months after receiving the initial reviews. Final decisions will be sent to authors roughly 1 month after they submit the revised version.

All papers that have been accepted or received a decision of “minor revision” by JCSS by March 31, 2024 will be invited to present at the COMPASS’24 conference in Delhi, India. Authors can present their work either in-person or virtually; the conference will support both virtual and in-person attendance. 

Submission Deadlines

Because papers can be submitted to JCSS at any time and on a rolling basis, there is no official paper submission deadline. However, we strongly encourage authors who want to present their paper at COMPASS’24 in Delhi to submit the paper to JCSS by end-December, 2023 or early-January, 2024, to get a decision by March 31st, 2024.
