ETHICOMP 2015 will review ethical and social issues raised by contemporary computing and look at ways of identifying and addressing them in the future. The conference is based on the belief that business, government, computer science, information systems, law, media, anthropology, andragogy, psychology, sociology and philosophy need to work together to enable the benefits of computing to prevail, while rendering its downsides and ethical ambiguities visible and more subject to public debate than is the case today.
