Computer ethics has reached an important point. From its earliest roots it has now become a global subject of concern which is influencing policy formulation, computing practice and computer application. The overall theme for ETHICOMP 99 is "Look to the future of the Information Society". The aim is to focus on how achievements of the past can be built upon to expand the field and to ensure that the important issues impacting upon society, its citizens and its organisations will be effectively addressed and so help improve the quality of life. This will be done from four perspectives:
Professor Deborah Johnson (Georgia Institute
of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, USA);
Professor Stefano Rodotą (President
of the Italian Data Protection Authority).
Papers covering one or several of these perspectives are called for from business, government, computer science, information systems, law, social sciences and philosophy. Interdisciplinary papers and those from new researchers and practitioners are encouraged. A paper might take a conceptual, applied, practical or historical focus. Case studies and reports on lessons learned in practice are welcomed.
As in previous conferences, papers will be accepted on the basis of a submitted abstract which will be refereed by the programme committee.
An abstract must be between 500 and 750 words in length and submitted via email as embedded plain text or an attachment in RTF or WORD 6 format.
Abstracts must be submitted no later than 15
March 1999 to ccsr@dmu.ac.uk. Authors
