ETHICOMP 99
"Look to the future of the Information Society"
This the fourth conference in the ETHICOMP series that addresses the
social and ethical impacts of information and communication technologies.
The conference will be held at the prestigious LUISS Guido Cali University
in the beautiful city of Rome, Italy. The conference will be on 6-7-8
October 1999.
Computer ethics has reached an important point. From its earliest roots it
has now become a global subject of concern which is influencing policy
formulation, computing practice and computer application. The overall
theme for ETHICOMP 99 is "Look to the future of the Information Society".
The aim is to focus on how achievements of the past can be built upon to
expand the field and to ensure that the important issues impacting upon
society, its citizens and its organisations will be effectively addressed
and so help improve quality of life. This will be done from four
perspectives - Work, Home and Leisure, Education, and Regulation.
Professor Deborah Johnson will give a keynote address to the conference.
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. The working language
of the conference will be English.
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 500 and 750 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 March 1999 to [log in to unmask]
Authors will be informed of the decision of the programme committee by 19
April 1999
