ETHICOMP 2005
"Looking back to the future"
Announcement 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 2005 is the eighth conference in the series which has been
running for 10 years. The conference will be held on 12-13-14-15 September
2005 at Linköping University, Sweden in collaboration with the Royal
Institute of Technology.
The conference will run over four days to include a number of interactive
events to celebrate 10 years of ETHICOMP.
Information and communication technologies have advanced dramatically
since the first ETHICOMP conference. It has been an era of constant
change. From the paperless office and the information superhighway to
nanotechnology and virtual learning environments ICT continues to impact
upon society, organisations and individuals. Much can be learnt from this
technological journey about the opportunities as well as the significant
social and ethical risks that can arise. But we need to look back to the
future and provide insight into how we can harness the huge potential of
future ICT advances whilst avoiding the social and ethical risks.
ETHICOMP 2005 has the overall theme of "Looking back to the future". The
aim of the conference is to present and discuss the social and ethical
impact of advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) on
society, organisations and individuals. What lessons can we learn from
past successes and failures to help us cope with the future?
Papers of an ethical or societal nature within the following areas are
particularly welcomed.
Globalisation
E-Government, E-democracy and citizenship
Agents
Nanotechnology
Assistive technology
E-inclusion
Health informatics
Technology-enhanced learning
Human communication
Professional practice and system development
Digital resources
Knowledge management
Technology and the workplace
Papers covering one or several of these perspectives are called for from
business, government, computer science, information systems, law, media,
anthropology, psychology, sociology 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.
