Building bridges: connecting research ethics and computer science

The ethical conduct of research is a cornerstone of modern scientific research. Computer science and the discipline’s technological artifacts touch nearly every aspect of modern life, and computer scientists must conduct and report their research in an ethical manner. This workshop will identify four theories that offer guidance for ethical decision making, ad use these theories as a basis for evaluating and discussing a set of ethical dilemmas that researchers in computer science might face.
