100 points – Code of Ethics Project
A summary description of five cases in computer ethics that violate five different parts of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) code of ethics, picking out the appropriate, relevant parts of the code and applying them to the cases of ethics violations. More details TBA.
This final project is intended to have your apply the code to five ethical issues we have considered this semester. Students are to articulate five distinct, separate issues in three “Parts”: articulate the “Ethical Issue,” relevant pats of the code, and “Applying the Code” to the issue, where a resolution grounded in the code is made. Each of the five examples should first describe the issue, then list the relevant parts of the code, and finally concluding how one should respond, applying the code to the issue. This process should have students cut and paste relevant parts of the entire code.
Example: Volkswagen Software Developers and Beating the Emissions Test:
Part 1: Ethical Issue: Software developer for VW and are asked to sign off on software designed to detect and pass emissions testing
Part 2: Relevant Parts of the Code1.1 Contribute to society and human well-being.
“An essential aim of computing professionals is to minimize negative consequences of computing systems, including threats to health and safety.”
“When designing or implementing systems, computing professionals must attempt to ensure that the products of their efforts will be used in socially responsible ways, will meet social needs, and will avoid harmful effects to health and welfare.”
“In addition to a safe social environment, human well-being includes a safe natural environment. Therefore, computing professionals who design and develop systems must be alert to, and make others aware of, any potential damage to the local or global environment.”
1.2 Avoid harm to others.
"Harm" means injury or negative consequences, such as undesirable loss of information, loss of property, property damage, or unwanted environmental impacts.
1.3 Be honest and trustworthy.
2.3 Know and respect existing laws pertaining to professional work.
ACM members must obey existing local, state, province, national, and international laws unless there is a compelling ethical basis not to do so.
Part 3: Applying Code to the Issue
The ACM code would condemn the actions of the VW software developer, as this software designed to avoid emissions tests. The resulting software violates 1.1 (doesn’t contribute to society and well-being, is not socially responsible, and against a safe natural environment. It violates 1.2 as it has unwanted environmental impacts, violates 2.3 as it violates emissions laws.
Grading will be based on comprehensiveness, choosing controversial ethical issues, citing most relevant parts of the code to the issue involved in a concise manner. Answers are due posted to ...

Ethics for IT Professionals and IT Users
Objective:
• What key characteristics distinguish a professional from other
kinds of workers, and what is the role of an IT professional?
• What relationships must an IT professional manage, and what
key ethical issues can arise in each?
• How do codes of ethics, professional organizations, certification,
and licensing affect the ethical behavior of IT professionals?
• What are the key tenets of four different codes of ethics that
provide guidance for IT professionals?
• What are the common ethical issues that face IT users?
• What approaches can support the ethical practices of IT users?

IT Professionals
Profession is a calling that requires:
• specialized knowledge
• long and intensive academic preparation
Partial list of IT specialists:
• Programmers
• systems analysts
• software engineers
• database administrators
• local area network (LAN) administrators
• chief information officers (CIOs)
3
Are IT Workers Professionals?
Legal perspective:
• IT workers are not recognized as professionals
• Not licensed
• IT workers are not liable for malpractice
IT professionals have many different relationships with:
• Employers
• Clients and Suppliers
• Other professionals
• IT users
• Society at large
4
Relationships Between IT Professionals and Employers
IT professionals must set an example and enforce policies
regarding the ethical use of IT
Software piracy is the act of illegally making copies of
software or enabling others to access software to which they
are not entitled
Software piracy is an area in which IT professionals can be
tempted to violate laws and policies
The Business Software Alliance (BSA) is a trade group that
represents the world’s largest software and hardware
manufacturers
• its mission is to stop the unauthorized copying of software
produced by its members
• penalties can be up to $100,000 per copyrighted work
5
Relationships Between IT Professionals and Employers
Trade secret:
• information used in business
• generally unknown to the public
• company has taken strong measures to keep
confidential
• employees must sign a non-disclosure agreement
(NDA)
• problems due to high IT employee turn-over
Whistle-blowing: attracts attention to a negligent, illegal,
unethical, abusive, or dangerous act that threatens the
public interest
6
Relationships Between IT Professionals and Clients
• IT professional provides hardware, software, or services
at a certain cost and within a given time frame
• Client provides compensation, access to key contacts and
work space
• Relationship is usually documented in contractual terms
Ethical problems arise if a company recommends its own
products and services to remedy problems they detected

ACS CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT CASE STUDIES
This document provides a range of case studies1 with references to relevant clauses of the
ACS Code of Professional Conduct. Section 1.2 describes the Code of Professional Conduct,
summarised as six values: The Primacy of the Public Interest; The Enhancement of the
Quality of Life; Honesty; Competence; Professional Development; and Professionalism.
Sections 1.2.1 through to 1.2.6 provide a series of non-exhaustive requirements explaining
how the six values relate to a member’s professional work.
Case No. 1: Jean The Programmer [1]
Summary of case
Jean, a statistical database programmer, is trying to write a large statistical program needed by
her company. Programmers in this company are encouraged to write about their work and to
publish their algorithms in professional journals. After months of tedious programming, Jean
has found herself stuck on several parts of the program. Her manager, not recognising the
complexity of the problem, wants the job completed within the next few days. Not knowing
how to solve the problems, Jean remembers that a co-worker had given her source listings
from his current work and from an early version of a commercial software package developed
at another company. On studying these programs, she sees two areas of code which could be
directly incorporated into her own program. She uses segments of code from both her co-
worker and the commercial software, but does not tell anyone or mention it in the
documentation. She completes the project and turns it in a day ahead of time.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

3. Motivation for “code of ethics”
• Historical
– professional associations use mechanism to establish
status as a profession
– regulate their membership
– convince public that associate deserves to be self-
regulated
• Self-regulation: one solution
– apply code of ethics
– ethics review board
– deter unethical behavior of members
4. Code of ethics
• Lists possible violations
• Threaten sanctions for such violations
• Association of Computing Machinery (ACM)
– One of the two most important professional associations
for computer scientists / IT professionals
– 1972: Code of Professional conduct
– 1992: Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
• Difficulties implementing ethics review system
– 1972’s goal was “carrots and sticks”
– 1992’s goal: major shift towards socialization and
education
– Clarifies professionals’ responsibility to society
5. Most important goal
• Provides an aid to individual decision making
• Presentation addresses nine different cases (with
some overlap)
– intellectual property
– privacy
– confidentiality
– professional quality
– fairness or discrimination
– liability
– software risks
– conflicts of interest
– unauthorized access to computer systems
6. ACM Code of Ethics (1)
• General moral imperatives: “As an ACM member I
will…”
1. Contribute to society and human well-being.
2. Avoid harm to others.
3. Be honest and trustworthy.
4. Be fair and take action not to discriminate.
5. Honour property rights including copyrights and
patents.
6. Give proper credit for intellectual property.
7. Respect the privacy of others.
8. Honour confidentiality.
7. ACM Code of Ethics (2)
• Specific professional responsibilities: “As an ACM computing
professional I will”:
1. Strive to achieve the highest quality, effectiveness and dignity in
both the process and products of professional work.
2. Acquire and maintain professional competence.
3. Know and respect existing laws pertaining to professional work.
4. Accept and provide appropriate professional review.
5. Give comprehensive and thorough evaluations of computer system
and their impacts, including analysis of possible risks.
6. Honour contracts, agreements, and assigned responsibilities.
7. Improve public understanding of computing and its consequences.
8. Access computing and communication resources only when
authorized to do so.
8. ACM Code of Ethics (3)
• Organization leadership imperatives: “As an ACM member and an
organizational leader, I will:”
1. Articulate social responsibilities of members of an organizational unit and
encourage full acceptance of those responsibilities.
2. Manage personnel and resources to design and build information systems
that enhance the quality of working life.
3. Acknowledge and support proper and authorized uses of an organization’s
computing and communication resources.
4. Ensure that users and those who will be affected by a design have their
needs clearly articulated during the assessment and design of
requirements; later the system must be validated to meet requirements.
5. Articulate and support policies that protect the dignity of users and others
affected by a computing system.
6. Create opportunities for members of the organization to learn the principles
and limitations of computer systems.
9. ACM Code of Ethics (4)
• Compliance with the Code: “As an ACM
member, I will:”
1. Uphold and promote the principles of this
Code.
2. Treat violations of this code as inconsistent
with membership in the ACM.
10. Ethical decision making: Case 1
• Ali is a database programmer
– large statistical program needed by his company (actuarial
requirements)
– company programmers are encouraged to publicize their work
• Ali has found himself stuck on a problem
– Has persisted at this for several months.
– His manager does not recognize complexity of problem.
– She insists job be completed in the few days.
• Ali remembers:
– co-worker had given him source listings of their current work
– he also has an early version of commercial software developed
at another company
11. Ethical decision making: Case 1
• Ali studies these programs
– Sees two areas of code which could be directly
incorporated into his own program
– He uses segments of code both from his coworker and
from the commercial software
– He does not tell anyone or mention it in the
documentation.
• He completes the project and turns it in a day ahead
of time.
• How does the Code of Ethics help us understand this
case?
12. Applying the code: Case 1
• This case highlights issues involving intellectual
property
– 1.6: “Give proper credit for intellectual property”
– Specifically, do not take credit for other’s ideas or work.
• Property rights principle (1.5)
– copyrights, patents, trade secrets, license agreements
• Restrictions also ground in:
– integrity (1.3)
– complying with existing laws (2.3)
13. Applying the code: Case 1
• Ali violated professional ethics in two areas:
– Failure to give credit for another’s work.
– Using code from a commercial package that
(presumably) was copyrighted.
• If Ali only “looked” at co-worker’s source code:
– Could he then write his own program and still have an
obligation to give credit?
• Yes:
– He should have acknowledged credit in documentation.
– (Some professional discretion possible here, especially if
intellectual material is trivial.)
14. Applying the code: Case 1
• Use of commercial software code was also not
appropriate:
– Ali should have checked to determine whether
or not company was authorized to use source
code before using it.
• In general:
– Desirable to share and exchange intellectual
materials
– But using bootlegged software is definitely a
violation of code.
15. Ethical decision making: Case 2
• Three years ago, Aisha started her own consulting
business
– She is so successful she now has several people working
for her.
– Has many clients.
– Includes work such as advising on network architectures,
designing DBMSes, security.
• Presently designing a DBMS for the personnel office
a medium-sized (100 person) company.
– Aisha has involved client in design process
– Informs CEO, CTO and human resources head about
system progress
16. Ethical decision making: Case 2
• Now it is time to make decisions about the kind and
degree of security to build into system.
• Aisha has described several options.
• Because of cost overruns, client has decided to opt
for a less secure system.
– Aisha believes information they will store is extremely
sensitive (performance evaluations, medical records for
insurance claims, salaries, etc.)
• With weak security:
– Employees on workstations could figure out how to access
this data.
– Online intruders would also have access
17. Ethical decision making: Case 2
• Aisha feels strongly that system should be
much more secure.
– She has tried to explain the risk.
– CEO, CTO and HR all agree that less security will
do.
• What should Aisha so?
– Should she refuse to build the system as they
request?
18. Applying the Code: Case 2
• This case highlights issues involving privacy
– Principle 1.7 deals with privacy
– Principle 1.8 deals with confidentiality
• Code guidelines state that:
– “computer professionals are obligated to preserve the
integrity of data about individuals…”
– “… from unauthorized access or accidental disclosure to
inappropriate individuals”
• Code also specifies for organizational leaders:
– Principle 3.5 (enhance personal dignity)
– Principle 3.4 (assess needs of all those affected by system)
19. Applying the Code: Case 2
• Company officials:
– Have an obligation to protect privacy of their employees.
– Therefore they should not accept inadequate security.
• Aisha’s first obligation:
– Attempt to educate company officials (implied by principle
2.7)
• If that fails, she needs to consider her contractual
obligations (principle 2.6) in honouring assigned
responsibilities.
• We don’t have Aisha’s contract, but she may have to
choose between her contract and her obligation to
honour privacy and security.
