Ethics and ICT Governance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human Choice and Computing is a longstanding series of conferences organised by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP)’s Technical Committee 9. This conference is the federation’s ninth. One of its tracks concentrates on ethics and information and communication technologies (ICT) governance. A background explains why investigations of ethics and ICT governance are coming to the fore, and it shows how this has been tackled by IFIP’s special interest group (SIG) 9.2.2 on a Framework for Ethics of Computing. On offer is an explanation of the purposes of the track – how to govern ICT ethically, a synthesis of its seven papers, and an overview of the results that the track is anticipated to achieve. It is hoped that, in an ever more global society, such a track and associated panel will enable a much more dynamic dialogue and exchange to take place among a wider diversity of cultures and countries, whether this is among academics, business executives, or policy-makers.

ICT has had numerous unfortunate incidents in planning, development, and delivery.
