AIM and SCOPE:

This minitrack seeks groundbreaking research regarding emerging issues facing the computing-related workforce, computing professionals and their role in a global workforce.

Studies developing or extending theory on issues such as the stigma associated with the computing-related profession, professional commitment of computing personnel or the importance of employing a diverse global workforce are just a few examples of the type of papers one might expect in this minitrack. Additionally research on attracting students to the computing-related professions, global computing-related talent management, the influence of human-computer factors to achieve smart sustainability and creative approaches to meet the global demand for computing-related professionals is also welcome. All methodologies and research paradigms that focus on computing-related personnel are appropriate for submission to this minitrack.
