Lady Justice

Computing professionals’, and in particular AIS members’ actions change the world. To act responsibly, they should reflect upon the wider impacts of their work, consistently supporting the public good. The Code is designed to inspire and guide the ethical conduct of all AIS members, including current and aspiring researchers, practitioners, instructors, students, influencers, and anyone who uses computing technology in an impactful way. Additionally, the Code serves as a basis for remediation when violations occur. The Code includes principles formulated as statements of responsibility, based on the understanding that the public good is always the primary consideration. Each principle is supplemented by guidelines, which provide explanations to assist AIS members in understanding and applying the principle.

The short version

ECIS is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds.

Members of AIS must adhere to the AIS Code of Research Conduct in their work. The AIS Code of Research Conduct expresses the standards expected of persons qualified to be members, in relation to research and publication.

Thank you for helping make this a welcoming, friendly event for all.
