ACM SoftCom '25 Hackathon

AI For Social Impact

How can you leverage AI to address a pressing social or environmental challenge in your
community or globally?

Guidelines:

1. 
   Define the Problem: Identify a specific challenge (e.g., climate change, education access,
   healthcare, disaster response, or inclusivity).


2. 
   Build a Solution: Develop an AI-based prototype or proof of concept that addresses the
   identified problem. This could involve:
   - Predictive modeling
   - Natural language processing
   - Computer vision
   - Agentic AI
   - Data analysis and insights


3. 
   Focus on Feasibility: Ensure your solution is practical, scalable, and ethical.


4. 
   Demonstrate Impact: Clearly showcase how your solution can create a positive impact,
   with a focus on measurable outcomes.

Web Development (WebDev)

Design and develop a fully functional and visually appealing web application. The web application
should demonstrate modern design principles and technical proficiency in both front-end and
back-end development.

Requirements

1. 
   Technology Stack:
   - Participants are free to choose their preferred technology stack.
   - Ensure the application is responsive and works seamlessly across devices (e.g.,
   desktop, tablet, mobile for web apps, or Android/iOS for mobile apps).


2. 
   Key Features:
   - A visually engaging landing page.
   - An Events Page that dynamically displays event details.
   - An About Page providing information about the organization or concept.
   - A Projects Page that includes individual sections for specific projects, such as:
   -> DataCamp: Description and details.
   -> AI Influencer: Features and objectives.
   -> Chatbot: Use cases and development overview.


3. 
   Theme and Design:
   - Embrace a modern, tech-oriented design. A futuristic and dark theme is encouraged
   but not mandatory.
   - Ensure intuitive navigation and user-friendly interfaces.


4. 
   Functionality:
   - Dynamically render event and project details.
   - Optimize performance for fast loading and smooth interactions.
   - Follow accessibility best practices to ensure usability for all users.


5. 
   Additional Guidelines
   - Maintain a version control system (e.g., GitHub).
   - Document the setup, deployment process, and any additional configurations.
   - Ensure the application adheres to modern web standards and best practices


6.

Ops for Innovation

How can you design and implement a scalable, secure, and efficient DevOps pipeline to streamline
software delivery and ensure reliability in a real-world scenario?

Guidelines

1. 
   Identify a Scenario: Choose a real-world use case, such as:
   - Automating CI/CD for a microservices-based application.
   - Building an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) solution for cloud resource management.
   - Implementing observability and monitoring for a distributed system.


2. 
   Build a Solution: Develop a DevOps pipeline or toolchain that addresses the identified
   scenario. Consider integrating:
   - Version control, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.
   - Containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
   - Security measures (e.g., DevSecOps practices).
   - Monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana).


3. 
   Focus on Efficiency: Optimize for scalability, fault tolerance, and resource utilization.


4. 
   Demonstrate Usability: Ensure your solution is easy to implement and adaptable to
   diƯerent environments.
