Ethics across the computer science curriculum

ABSTRACT

The aim of this workshop is to assess the current practices and project future trends for the integration of ethics across the computer science curriculum. The workshop organizers are developing a computer security and information assurance curriculum across which ethical content is integrated. Through this workshop, they will share their experiences and facilitate a dialog with others involved in teaching ethics.
