Topics

Submissions to the workshop are invited to discuss ethical and moral 
questions arising in the whole spectrum of topics of Business 
Informatics. The following suggestions provide an impression of the 
intended orientation of the workshop, but you are cordially invited to 
propose additional topics.

- Are the subjects of Business Informatics associated with specific 
ethical questions? As the subjects in Business Informatics typically are 
intangible, does this raise a need for specific procedures to justify 
proper conduct of Business Informatics research?
- Do (research) methods in Business Informatics involve specific value 
statements or Weltanschauung?
- Which implications for classical moral philosophies arise from recent 
developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research?
- What challenges arise from the availability of IT-supported machines 
that should act as stand-alone agents (autonomous cars, drones)? Are 
there any pitfalls in Machine Learning based decision support?
- Are certain species of moral philosophies (e. g., deontologist or 
consequentialist moral theories) especially relevant for Business 
Informatics? Do typical decision models in Business Informatics 
implicate the basic principles of specific moral theories (e. g., 
consequentialism)?
- What kind of statements could a „Code of Ethics“ for Business 
Informatics professionals include (as opposed to the “Code of Ethics” of 
ACM)?
- What experiences in relation to ethical questions were made in 
previous Business Informatics research projects?
- What initiatives concerning ethical values in Business Informatics do 
already exist in academia and industry? What are the results of these 
initiatives?
- How are ethical topics considered in Business Informatics curriculums 
at universities world-wide?
...and many more.

Submission

The workshop invites submissions that discuss actions or principles of 
actions as manifested in methodological assumptions and commitments in 
Business Informatics from an ethical point of view. This also includes 
experience reports about projects in academia and industry where 
questions about right and wrong conduct played a significant role. 
Submissions are both invited to raise questions and to report about 
situations where questions have already been answered in specific ways. 
Philosophical methods of inquiry are welcome, but not required.

Each submission will be reviewed by 3 members of the program committee. 
Accepted submissions must be presented by at least one author at the 
workshop. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in a volume 
of the Springer LNBIP series.

The maximum number of pages is 12 (including bibliography and 
appendixes). Short papers with a size up to 6 pages are also welcome. 
The abstract should not exceed 150 words. Please use the Springer LNCS 
template

and upload your submission at
