Communications of the ACM (CACM), the flagship magazine of the Association for Computing Machinery, has launched Regional Special Sections (RSS) to cover computing research and innovations from around the world. In November 2020, CACM published the first Regional Section on Latin America as part of a collection of special regional sections on Europe, India, China, Arab World and East Asia and Oceania.
CACM is now calling for contributions to a new RSS on Latin America: https://ccsl.ime.usp.br/cacm-latam/ This is a wonderful opportunity to tell the world about the unique and influential activities happening recently in Latin America that may not be easily known outside or inside the region. Topics of interest include research highlights, historical retrospectives, and discussions on relevant issues for science, industry, government, and society in Latin America.
If you are from a Latin America organization and think you can contribute to this effort, please prepare a short 1-page abstract in English on your topic along with pointers to sources that can provide more details. The abstract should explicitly highlight the impact and importance of the work in the broad Latin American industrial, academic, or societal context. The abstract should also mention the theme about which you are submitting the article. If a full version is already written, it can be submitted together with the abstract
