Ethicomp and CEPE are major conferences in the field of
computer/information ethics. Previous CEPE conferences themes include
intercultural ethics, roboethics, social impacts of social computing,
socio-technical and ethical change in ICTs, and social responsibility
and ICTs. ETHICOMP, the conference series initiated in 1995 by Simon
Rogerson and Terry Bynum, has likewise focused on the ethical dimensions
of computing technologies. To support the missions of each entity, while
providing a robust opportunity for innovative collaborative research and
scholarship, Ethicomp and CEPE will partner in 2014.

Our joint conferences will be hosted by CERNA (Commission de réflexion
sur l'Ethique de la Recherche en sciences et technologies du Numérique
d'Allistene).
As well, the overlap day between the two conferences (Wednesday, July
25) is co-sponsored by ACM SIGCAS (Special Interest Group, Computers and
Society), and will focus on gender and technology.

*Background*

Norbert Wiener's The Human Use of Human Beings: Cybernetics and Society
(1950) is a primary source for contemporary Information and Computing
Ethics. Wiener framed his reflections on the possible uses and benefits
of then newly emerging computational devices and networks within the key
ethical norms of human well-being and flourishing -- the core norms of
virtue ethics. Contemporary computers and computer networks increasingly
pervade and shape our lives, dramatically enhancing our communication
capacities: they thereby foreground and amplify "the networked self,"
i.e., our sense of selfhood, identity, and agency (including moral
agency) as increasingly relational and interwoven with one another. Such
relational senses of identity, selfhood and agency are in fact the
beginning point of virtue ethics in its diverse expressions and
traditions globally. Wiener's foundational framework has thus proven to
be profoundly prescient.

But certainly, there are multiple ethical frameworks within which
questions of "the good life" -- as focusing on our well-being and
flourishing as human beings -- may be couched. At the same time,
alongside the undeniable boons of ICTs -- recent developments such as
the NSA surveillance scandals make critical reflection on the ethical,
social, and political dimensions of contemporary ICTs and their array of
uses all the more urgent.
Accordingly, for CEPE'14 we invite submissions -- including panels --
that address these core concerns with well-being and flourishing in an
age of ICTs. We encourage research and reflection that approach these
thematics from a wide array of viewpoints and with attention to specific
foci including:

  * ICTs and development
  * technosecurity and cyber-warfare
  * robots and robot ethics for humans and humane lives;
  * social computing
  * global / cultural perspectives on ICTs and the good life

*Important Dates*

  * 30 November 2013 Latest date to submit abstracts to Easychair
  * 25 January 2014 Authors informed of programme committee decisions by
    this date
  * 5 April 2014 Last date for receipt of full papers from authors
    (electronic version)

*Panels*

  * Submission due: December 15th, 2013
  * Selection: February 15th, 2014

Ethicomp 2014 - Computer Ethics
Call for papers ETHICOMP 2014 – Liberty and Security in an Age of ICTs -
http://ethicomp2014.org

The ETHICOMP conference series was initiated in 1995 by Professors Simon
Rogerson and Terry Bynum. 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).  Held every 18 months, the previous conferences have
featured over 600 papers from delegates and speakers from all
continents.
ETHICOMP 2014 will be the first conference held jointly with the CEPE
(Computer Ethics: Professional Enquiries) conference (sponsored by
INSEIT - the International Society for Ethics and Information
Technology). Our conferences will be hosted by CERNA (Commission de
réflexion sur l’Ethique de la Recherche en sciences et technologies du
Numérique d’Allistene).

"Liberty and Security in an Age of ICTs"
As the current scandals over NSA surveillance and questions of freedom
of expression demonstrate, ethics and ICTs are core issues for
contemporary societies. Today’s technological changes and its multiple
social and political impacts make it imperative we consider these
changes in different contexts that look beyond just the present times
and particular issues. The aim of the conference is to not only present
and discuss these changes but also discuss its social and ethical impact
on people, society, businesses and education.  Interdisciplinary papers
either with a conceptual, applied, case study, or practical are
encouraged.

The conference has the overall theme of "liberty and security in an age
of ICTs". Under this umbrella theme, papers with social/ethical
perspective (but not limited to), within the following areas with track
chairs include:

  - 20 years of ETHICOMP: A celebration
  - Preparation of a special issue in the journal Philosophy of
    Technology
  - Education and Training, e.g. Virtual learning environments, Blended
    learning, Digital tutors, Game-based learning
  - Government and Goverance, e.g. egovernment, edemocracy, evoting
    regulation and legislation

  - ICT and Ethics in Business, e.g. Professionalism, Surveillance &
    Monitoring, Ownership

  - Ethics of Emerging Technologies, e.g. Robotics, Social networking
    services

  - Responsible Research and Innovation in ICT, e.g. Ethics and rights
    in cybersecurity, Remote healthcare, Human-robot interaction

As well, the overlap day between the two conferences (Wednesday, July
25) will focus on gender and technology (see:
cerna-ethics-allistene.org/CEPE-ETHICOMP-and-Women/).
