                            Call for Papers
 
           DIRECTIONS AND IMPLICATIONS OF ADVANCED COMPUTING
 
            DIAC-90   Boston, Massachusetts   July 28, 1990

Computer technology significantly  affects  most  segments  of  society,
including education, business, medicine, and the military.  Current  and
emerging computer technology will exert strong influences on our  lives,
in areas ranging from  work  to  civil  liberties.  The  DIAC  symposium
considers  these  influences  in  a  broad  social  context  -  ethical,
economic, political - as well as a technical context. We seek to address
directly the relationship between  technology  and  policy.  We  solicit
papers that address the wide range of questions at the  intersection  of
technology and society. Within this broad vision, we request papers that
address the following suggested topics. Other topics may be addressed if
they are relevant to the general focus.
 
 RESEARCH DIRECTIONS           DEFENSE APPLICATIONS
 
   + Funding Sources & Effects   + AI & the Conduct of War
   + Development Methodologies   + Autonomous Weapons Systems
 
 COMPUTING IN A DEMOCRACY      COMPUTERS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
 
   + Community Access            + Computing for the Disabled
   + Computerized Voting         + Uses of Models & Simulations
   + Civil Liberties             + Arbitration & Conflict Resolution
   + Computing & the Law         + Computing in Education
   + Computing & Workplace       + Software Safety

Submissions will be read by members of the program committee,  with  the
assistance of outside referees.  The  program  committee  includes  Alan
Borning (U. WA), Christiane Floyd (Technical University of Berlin), Eric
Gutstein (U. WI), Jonathan Jacky (U. WA),  Deborah  Johnson  (Rensselaer

Complete papers should include an abstract and should  not  exceed  6000
words. Papers on ethics and values  are  especially  desirable.  Reports
on work in progress or suggested directions  for  future  work  as  well
as appropriate  surveys  and  applications,  will  also  be  considered.
