<br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<span style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">The
LIMITS workshop concerns the role of computing in a human society
affected by real-world limits (ecological or otherwise). We seek to
reshape the computing research agenda as these
topics are seldom discussed in contemporary computing research. LIMITS
2020 solicits papers looking ahead to 2030, as described below. </span><br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<span style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">This
year, LIMITS will be a distributed workshop between USC (Los Angeles,
California, USA) and University of Bristol (UK). All main sessions will
be held in parallel (morning in Los Angeles,
evening in Bristol), with local events in addition to these main
sessions. LIMITS in the UK will be co-located with ICT4S. </span><br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<span style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">LIMITS
2020 aims to reach computing researchers outside of the LIMITS
community who might ask: "what does research in a LIMITS future look
like?" </span><br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<span style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">Suppose
the ideas of LIMITS have diffused throughout both computing research
and broader society, such that LIMITS 2030, ten years from now, need not
exist as a separate venue. What would
researchers and engineers be building in that future world? </span><br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<span style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">To
reach this audience, we solicit papers on "future systems". Such
systems are socio-technical systems that are responsive to the LIMITS
2030 world that might exist. This year we specifically
discourage "critical", "analysis", and similar types of papers. </span><br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<span style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">A
future systems paper concerns the design, implementation, and/or
evaluation of a real tool, system, app, or any other artifact situated
in a future (year 2030) world. Such contributions
would be of a flavor that could be imagined to be published in a more
applied venue of computing (e.g., UIST for HCI researchers, NSDI for
networked systems researchers, etc.). That is, if the researchers from
more-applied, less-critical areas of computing
were to shift their topics of interest to align with this envisioned
world of 2030, what would they build? Empirical evaluation is strongly
encouraged; papers without an empirical evaluation are acceptable if
they provide substantial evidence regarding the
practical usefulness of the future system(s) described. </span><br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
<span style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">We
look to a classic vision outlined by Donella Meadows (see LIMITS
website for details) for the future world of 2030 papers should be
placed within. That is, authors should imagine that
one or more of the economic, societal, business, energy, and other
changes that Meadows describes here are already coming into being, but
require computing to help them take shape. </span><br style="font-family:"helvetica Neue",helvetica;font-size:14px">
