Conference was shown as a live web cast during the Conference.
This
was fifth conference in the ETHICOMP series which addresses the
social and ethical impacts of information and communication technologies.
The conference was held at the Technical
University of Gdańsk in Poland. The conference was on 18-20
June 2001.
The
computing technology revolution continues to accelerate. The applications
of this universal tool seem limitless. Indeed the convergence of
computing, media and communication technologies has meant that each
day we become more and more dependant on technology at work, at
home, in travel, in learning and in communicating. Systems based
on computing technology are powerful change agents.
The
overall theme for ETHICOMP 2001 is "Systems of the Information Society".
The aim is to focus on the ethical and social impacts of these systems
on society, organisations and individuals. This will be done from
four perspectives: software engineering and systems development;
teaching ethics to computing students; ethics in virtual communities;
and ethics in the off-line world.
