Information Technology Assessment: Proceedings of the 4th Ifip Tc9 International Conference on Human Choice and Computers, Hcc-4 Held Jointly With T

This book is a result of the fourth conference entitled Human Choice and Computers , which are held every five years. The theme of the Dublin conference, Information Technology Assessment , was selected to foster awareness of the impact of information technology on people and social structures, to explore and assess the alternatives for individuals, groups, businesses and governments in the years ahead, and to provide a basis for action by decision-makers. The book is therefore divided into sections entitled Awareness, Assessment and Action. The participants of the conference (over 150) included theoreticians, policy advisers, and legislators from all continents, representing various political and philosophical standpoints. Their arguments and observations mapped out the current state of thinking about problems in the relationships between individuals, society and computers.Berleur, J. is the author of 'Information Technology Assessment: Proceedings of the 4th Ifip Tc9 International Conference on Human Choice and Computers, Hcc-4 Held Jointly With T' with ISBN 9780444887597 and ISBN 0444887598.
