NETWORK ETHICS: A CALL FOR PAPERS
The AAAS-ABA National Conference of Lawyers and Scientists (NCLS) invites
proposals for original papers for presentation at a two-and-a-half day
invitational conference on "Legal, Ethical, and Technological Aspects of
Computer and Network Use and Abuse." Forty participants representing a
diverse set of perspectives and areas of expertise will present papers at the
conference which will be held in southern California in mid-December 1993. Up
to three successful applicants will receive travel expenses and room and board
at teh conference. Papers will be included in the conference proceedings and
may be published subsequently in a book or journal symposium.
The conference will focus on the ways in which the law, ethics, and
technology can influence the bounds of the bounds of acceptable behavior and
foster the development of positive human values in a shared computer
environment. Participants will address handling unwanted intrusions
into computer software or networks, including unauthorized entry and dissemination
of viruses through networks or shared disks. Also on the agenda: access to
information, privacy, security, and equity; the role of computer users,
academic institutions, industry, profesional soceities, government, and the
law in defining and maintaining legal and ethical standards for the use of
computer networks; and a policy agenda for implementing these standards.
Although participants may address any aspect of the conference theme,
papers reporting empirical research, surveys of computer users, and case
studies (other than those that are already well known) are especially
encouraged.
If you are interested in participating in the conference, please
forward a summary or outline of no more than 500 words, together with a
one-page resume and a brief statement detailing how your expertise or
perspective would contribute to the meeting. These proposals will be
reviewed by an advisory committee convened by NCLS and successful applicants
will be asked to prepare papers for the meeting. Participants must submit an
original previously unpublished paper, between 5000 and 8000 words (25 to
30 double-spaced pages) in length.
Proposals must be received by 5 pm EST 15 Sept. 1993. Applicants
selected to prepare papers will be informed by 1 October, and draft papers will
be due 3 December 1993. Final versions of the papers, revised in light of
conference discussions, will be due approximately two months after the
conference.
NCLS is an organization sponsored jointly by the American Association
for the Advancement of Science and the American Bar Association, dedicated to
improving communication between members of the legal and scientific/
technical professions and exploring issues at the intersection of law, science,
and technology. Funding for this meeting has been providesd by the Program
on Ethics and Vales Studies of the National Science Foundation. For further
