Special Issue on Ethics in Computing

Computing systems are tightly integrated today into our professional, social, and private lives. These systems span the gamut of wearables and smart home Internet of Things (IoT) edge devices, to automotive cyber-physical systems (CPS), and massive cloud computing data center facilities. An important consequence of this growing ubiquity of computing is that it can have significant ethical implications, which computing professionals should carefully take into consideration. In most real-world scenarios, it is not immediately obvious how particular technical choices could be viewed from an ethical perspective.
