The idea of having a Grace Hopper Regional celebration in the

Caribbean region was initially conceived by Patty López and

Gilda Garretón at a Latinas in computing (LiC) meeting at the

2011 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing in

Portland Oregon. The idea became a reality and we are finally

having the First Caribbean Celebration of Women in Computing

at Aguadilla, Puerto Rico in 2014. It has been a long journey but

we are proud of the work that we have done. I would like to

personally thank the organizing committee for all the effort and

time that they have spent in working voluntarily in this endeav-

or. I would also like to personally thank Dr. Isidoro Couvertier,

director of the Computing Networking Laboratory at UPRM who made significant contribu-

tions to the conference, without which we would have not been able to run the conference.

This conference would have never taken place without the extraordinary work of the per-

sonnel from the IRISE center: Maribel Feliciano, Soliris Maldonado, and Evelyn Guzmán.

Thank you very much for your commitment to excellence.

The theme of the conference is “The time is now!” Now...is the moment to take action and

change the situation of women in computing in the Caribbean region. Take the time, net-

work with your colleagues, find a mentor, and collaborate among yourselves. We hope that

the connections you make today will endure past the conference and that you realize that

partnerships will change the face of computing around ourselves.

I would like to thank our supporters: platinum – College of Engineering at the University of

Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus, the Computer Networking Lab at UPRM, the College of

Computing at Georgia Tech; gold sponsors – Computing Alliance for Hispanic Serving Institu-

tions, Microsoft Research Connections, Google, Texas Instruments, Puerto Rico Science, Tech-

nology and Research Trust; as well as, our silver, bronze and supporter sponsors. Your sup-

port made possible the realization of this conference and we appreciate your commitment to

increasing the participation of women in technical fields.

We look forward to celebrating women’s contribution in computing and we hope to be-

come a big family.

Celebration of Caribbean Women in Computing. We received a total of 34 submissions for panels, oral, and poster

presentations that were carefully revised by the program committee and other evaluators.

The final program includes 4 invited keynote talks, 3 discussion panels of relevance for Puerto Rican

women in computing, 9 professional and technical talks, and 14 poster presentations by graduate and undergraduate stu-

dents. The authors represent 8 academic programs from 6 universities, and 5 companies and government agencies in Puerto

Rico. In addition, the program includes contributions from 5 industries and research laboratories, 3 universities, and 3 profes-

sional organizations that promote women in computing in the USA.

The first day of the conference will focus on high school students and undergraduates, and will include an Academic

fair and a Job fair. The program will end with the Aspirations in Computing Awards Ceremony and the Poster Session. The sec-

ond day activities will focus on undergraduates, graduates, and women in academia and industry. After two days of intensive

work, the conference will end with a celebration dance.

We would like to thank the Committee members for their high-quality reviews, valuable discussions for the develop-

ment of the program, and their help in organizing the panels. We are grateful to Brian Landrón, and Maribel Feliciano for man-

aging the submission system, and to Gladys Omayra Ducoudray for generating the final conference program. We thank the

Conference Chair, Nayda Santiago for coordinating the keynote talks, and to her and Awilda Valle for their careful and critical

Abstract: Technology in homes fascinates me due to the wide range of devices and services, the needs of different residents, and the constant change as people enter and leave home with devices. At home people use technology by themselves and with other people for a variety of tasks, from coordinating their lives to entertainment. For the past 10 years I have studied and built technology for homes and families. I will pre-sent a series of research prototypes we have built and put in homes to enable digital family calendaring, fam-ily connectedness, and saving energy. Inspired by the challenges of deploying prototypes into homes, my current project, Lab of Things, is a publicly available platform that makes it easier for researchers to build and deploy prototypes using connected devices in homes. Academics are using Lab of Things for both teaching and research projects, and we are excited to see how the platform can help accelerate innovation in home

technology.

Biography: Nagin graduated from Cornell University with a BS in Operations Research and Industrial Engi-neering and a BA in Psychology and was commissioned as an officer in the US Air Force. As a lieutenant, she

was stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio and worked as a systems engineer in F-16 aircrew training. She later at-tended the Air Force Institute of Technology where she received a masters degree in Space Operations Systems Engineering. As a captain, she served as an Orbital Analyst at NORAD/Space Command in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs. After leaving the Air Force to pursue more civilian space applications, she joined JPL in 1993 and has since served as a sys-tems engineer and manager on multiple interplanetary robotic missions including NASA/JPL’s Galileo mission to Jupiter, the Mars Exploration Rover Missions and the Kepler telescope mission to search for earth-like planets around other stars. Her roles have in-cluded the Deputy Team Chief of the engineering spacecraft flight team for NASA/JPL’s Galileo mission to Jupiter, the Deputy Team Chief of the Spacecraft/Rover Engineering Flight Team on the JPL Mars Exploration Rover Missions and the Deputy Project System Engineer on Kepler as well as the Supervisor for the Surface Systems –Systems Engineering Group at JPL. She also led the first phase of the proposal that has since become NASA’s 2016 Mars Mission- InSight. She is currently working on Mars Science Labora-tory (MSL)- NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover that landed in August of 2012. On this mission, she has served in the past as the Assistant Flight System Engineering Manager and is now part of the mission operations team operating the rover on Mars. Nagin has spoken to audiences around the US, in Europe, and the Middle East on the stories of the people behind the missions. In her spare time, Nagin races with her dragonboating team, competes in sprint triathlons and sings with a Sweet Adelines barbershop chorus. She is part of the assistant staff with a women’s self-defense program and is involved with the Women’s Rights

Committee of Human Rights Watch. She also enjoys exploring this planet with her husband.

K-01: Hitting the Road on Mars: From the 2004 Mars Exploration Rovers to MSL: Curiosity

Abstract: Since the beginning of time, people have been entranced by the night sky and by our nearest plane-tary neighbor- Mars. From the early missions to Viking, Pathfinder and the more recent missions – Mars has been (and is) a challenging destination. The Mars Exploration Rovers landed on Mars in January 2004 and have been successfully exploring ever since. Come hear the story of their legacy and our newest rover on Mars- the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover. Curiosity landed on Mars spectacularly in August 2012 and is

already making astounding discoveries as she explores the Red Planet.

K-03 : The Implementers Dilemma -- lessons learned from global leaders driving the rapid shift from Knowledge Society to Innovation Society through implementation of large scale education transformation programs

Brian González, Global Education Sector, Intel Corp

Abstract: Dr. Karen Alkoby reflects on her upbringing and her beating the odds with faith in the possibili-ties in the world without sound. Her inspirational talk includes on how she became interested into the computing field and how she overcame what seem to be insurmountable obstacles. Being in a severely underrepresented group as a deaf woman in computer field did not hamper her to get a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science. She instills the message of hope that will leave you feeling inspired to achieve your potential. Technology has impacted in her community in the past years. However, there are still many applications that are not designed for them. Better understanding and embracing the diversity and plu-ralism of underrepresented groups in computing is emphasized. There are still plenty of golden opportu-nities to take advantage of while being an innovator or a designer for amazing technology for deaf peo-ple. Without question, these applications will likely enhance universal design ubiquitously, but it requires
