<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">In 1995 the first ETHICOMP conference was held in Leicester, England, organised by Terry Bynum and Simon Rogerson. Its purpose was to provide
a forum to discuss ethical issues around computers. Twenty years later we are meeting again in Leicester to continue this conversation. The changes in information and communication technology (ICT) during these 20 years have been dramatic. While computers
used to be bulky and easily identifiable machines, we now have small smart devices, the internet quickly developed and has changed significantly, and ICT now pervades all walks of life, from the way we work and communicate to study, undertake childcare and
choose partners. As a consequence many of the concerns of 1995 have deepened and many new ones have arisen.

<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">During ETHICOMP 2015, we will review ethical and social issues raised by contemporary computing and look at ways of identifying and addressing
them in the future. "The conference aims to be practically relevant and bring together the various communities involved in the development, implementation, and use of computing and reflection on these in their various guises. The conference is based on the
belief that the ETHICOMP community, together with other associations and groups, needs to work together to enable the benefits of computing to prevail, while rendering its downsides and ethical ambiguities visible and more subject to public debate than is
the case today. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

on the basis of an extended abstract of between 800 and 1000 words after a careful review by Programme Committee members. Whilst more than one paper from an author or co-authors is welcomed, the final decision on which papers are accepted will probably lead
to no more than two papers from a given author being accepted. This will give more opportunity for as many people as possible to participate in ETHICOMP 2015.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
