Social, Ethical and Policy Implications of Information Technology

Buy

Legal and ethical issues have become a standard part of engineering and business schools’ curricula. This has not been the case for computer science or management information systems programs although there has been increased emphasis on the social skills of these students. This leaves a frightening void in the student’s professional development. Information systems pose unique social challenges, especially for technical professionals who have been taught to think in terms of logic, structures and flows. The focus of Social, Ethical and Policy Implications of Information Technology is on the human impact of information systems, including ethical challenges, social implications, legal issues, and unintended costs and consequences.

Social, Ethical, and Policy Implications of Information Technology offers practical orientation, with chapters including “implications for practitioners.” It covers a broad spectrum of social issues in a clear and compelling way. The topics are both timely and timeless.

By creating awareness and offering analytical frameworks for a variety of issues in the field, Social, Ethical and Policy Implications of Information Technology contributes to the development of professionals.

Recent Advances in Computational Optimization: Results of the Workshop on Computational Optimization WCO 2017 (Studies in Computational Intelligence (795))

Our everyday lives are practically unthinkable without optimization. We constantly try to minimize our effort and to maximize the reward or progress achieved. Many real-world and industrial problems arising in engineering, economics, medicine and other domains can be formulated as optimization tasks. This volume presents a...
