ETHICOMP 2007
Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan
Call for Papers
The ETHICOMP conference series was launched in 1995 by the Centre for Computing
and Social Responsibility (CCSR). Professor Terry Bynum and Professor Simon
Rogerson are the founders and joint directors. The purpose of this series is to
provide an inclusive forum for discussing the ethical and social issues
associated with the development and application of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT). Conferences are held about every 18 months.
There have been eight previous conferences in Europe. Delegates and speakers
from all continents have attended. Over 500 papers have been presented. In the
second ETHICOMP decade it is proposed that occasional special ETHICOMP
conferences will replace the normal European conferences in order to increase
participation of those from other parts of the world. Given its excellent
credentials Meiji University is an ideal place to launch this initiative.
ETHICOMP 2007 has the overall theme of "Glocalisation: Bridging the Global
Nature of Information and Communication Technology and the Local Nature of
Human Beings". 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.
Web Address for ETHICOMP 2007 is

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

* Technology and the workplace
Papers covering one or several of these perspectives are called for from

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.
