We are excited to announce the NeurIPS 2023 Computational Sustainability Workshop: Promises and Pitfalls from Theory to Development!
https://www.compsust.net/compsust-2023/
********************************************************************************
Important Dates:
- Submission Deadline: Oct 3, 2023 (AOE)
- Notification of Acceptance: Oct 21, 2023
- Workshop: December 15th, 2023; New Orleans, Louisiana
********************************************************************************
Computational sustainability (CompSust) is an interdisciplinary research area that uses computational methods to help address the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), including but not limited to hunger and poverty reduction, infrastructure development, and environmental conservation. This workshop focuses on computational methods for balancing environmental, economic, and societal needs for a sustainable future. While we encourage all submissions related to computational sustainability, this year’s workshop will have a special focus on promises and pitfalls on the pathway from theory to development. In particular, we encourage submissions with negative results that highlight challenges and gaps in existing methods.
The goals of this workshop are to: (i) identify pathways from theory to deployment, including best-practices and measures to quantify success, (ii) facilitate discussion and collaboration between participants from a range of backgrounds, including but not limited to, academia, industry, and the non-profit sector, and (iii) identify common failure modes and high-impact research directions, including “moonshot’’ challenges.
*CFP*
We invite submission of 4 pages, with an emphasis on topics related to deploying computational sustainability methods. Submission reviews will be double-blind. The workshop does not publish proceedings, and submissions are non-archival. Submission to this workshop does not preclude future publication. Submissions of work which has been previously published, including papers accepted to the main NeurIPS 2023 conference are allowed this year.
Papers should be submitted through OpenReview (https://openreview.net/group?id=NeurIPS.cc/2023/Workshop/CompSust) and use the workshop template based on the NeurIPS style file. The LaTeX version of the workshop template is available for download or as an Overleaf template. While we strongly encourage LaTeX submission, a Microsoft Word template is available upon request. Please contact neurips-workshop2023@compsust.net with any questions.
Follow us on social media to stay up-to-date! We look forward to your submissions and hope to see you in New Orleans!
