*ETHICOMP 2013: **University of Southern Denmark, Kolding, Denmark,
**12-14 June 2013*
Since 1995 the ETHICOMP conference series has provided a forum to
discuss the ethical and social issues surrounding Information and
Communication Technology. During that time over 900 papers have been
presented at 12 conferences by individuals from all parts of the world.
But ETHICOMP is more than this -- it is an interdisciplinary community
dedicated to exploring issues and seeking ways forward. Conferences are
enjoyable, stimulating and highly interactive events. Collaborative
ventures including co-authorship and funded research have been spawned
by this supportive and inclusive network.
