Notice and Call for Papers

The ETHICOMP conference series is now recognised as one of the premier international events on computer ethics attended by delegates from all over the world. Conferences are held about every 18 months. ETHICOMP 2001 is the fifth conference in the series. The conference will be held on 18-20
June 2001 at the Technical University of Gdańsk, Poland.

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: the relationship between quality, risk and ethics.
  • Teaching ethics to computing students: educating the professionals of tomorrow.
  • Ethics in virtual communities: social norms and tendencies of the Internet and
    e-commerce, and their impact on families, friends, strangers, the environment, traders and consumers.
  • Ethics in the off-line world: the ethical impacts of computer systems in the office, the factory, the school, and public areas.

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 ETHICOMP 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 700 and 1000 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 December 2000 to ccsr@dmu.ac.uk. Authors will be informed of the decision of the programme committee by 15 February 2001.
