Symposia on Directions and Implications of Advanced Computing; Summers 1988 and 1989

这个奖项提供了适度的支持，使先进计算研究和教育的道德和价值方面的专业知识能够纳入两个技术和政策专题讨论会-称为“先进计算的方向和影响”（DIAC），由计算机专业人员社会责任组织主办。CPSR是一个全国性的专业组织，拥有2200多名会员。讨论会将于1988年和1989年夏季举行。1988年研讨会将于8月21日在明尼苏达大学圣保罗分校的厄尔·布朗中心举行。这是美国人工智能协会全国会议开始的前一天。研讨会将包括六篇论文，一次全体会议发言，以及一个关于“道德价值观如何在计算机界传播和维持？”的小组讨论。1989年，项目委员会将包括一位专门研究计算机伦理学的哲学家和一位研究价值观在选择研究重点方面的影响的社会科学家。计划将扩大研讨会的宣传和外联，以改善技术专业人员和学者之间的交流和互动，并向非专业观众分发材料。每次研讨会的结果将包括一本书和期刊出版物。社论、评论和教育材料也可以准备。该项目由有能力的专业人员在适当的组织支持下进行。合作努力很可能在本奖项的期限之后继续进行。项目设计合理；审查和传播材料的计划是适当的。建议奖励6000美元。

This award provides modest support to enable expertise on ethical and value aspects of research and education in advanced computing to be incorporated into two technical and policy symposia -- called "Directions and Implications of Advanced Computing" (DIAC), sponsored by Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. CPSR is a national professional organization with over 2200 members. The symposia will be held in the summers of 1988 and 1989. The 1988 symposium will take place on August 21, in the Earle Brown Center at the University of Minnesota - St. Paul. This is the day before the national conference of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence begins there. The symposium will include six presented papers, a plenary address, and a panel on "How are ethical values imparted and sustained in the computing community?" For 1989, the program committee will include a philosopher who specializes in the study of computer ethics and a social scientist who studies the influence of values in the selection of research priorities. Plans will expand the publicity and outreach of the symposia to improve the exchange and interaction between technical professionals and scholars and the dissemination of materials to lay audiences. Results from each symposium will include a book and journal publications. Editorials, commentaries, and educational materials may also be prepared. This project is undertaken by competent professionals with appropriate organizational support. Collaborative efforts are likely to continue well beyond the period of this award. The project is designed well; plans for review and dissemination of materials are appropriate. An award in the amount of $6,000 is recommended.
