# CALL FOR PAPERS

## FRUGALTHINGS 2020: 1th Workshop on Experiences with the Design and Implementation of Frugal Smart Objects

[http://www.grc.upv.es/frugalthings2020/%5D(http://www.grc.upv.es/frugalthing...)

**In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2020 - The 26th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, 21-25 Sep, London, United Kingdom.**

### MOTIVATION AND RATIONALE Frugal innovation employs a creative approach to problem solving which starts from user needs and works to develop contextually appropriate solutions that have to be scalable, durable and environmentally sustainable, while using state-of-the-art technologies and know-how. Frugal innovation explores the introduction of emerging technologies to new populations, by developing ubiquitous computing systems, designing interaction techniques, and collecting and analyzing data. Examples of frugal innovations uncover the facilitating role of digitization and technological advancements in developing resource efficient and sustainable solutions. Ubiquitous internet, telecommunication and technological tools such as 3-D printing, cloud computing, social media, crowdfunding are a few examples. The FRUGALTHINGS workshop focuses on frugal innovations and the application of its goals for the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of novel approaches and systems in the emerging cooperative environments. We are therefore seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in the frugal innovation arena.
