Computing professionals are called to act in strict accordance with high ethical standards. Three predominant sources of ethical standards exist for computing professionals. The IEEE, ACM, and Software Engineering Code of Ethics each provide standards for ethical behavior to guide computing professionals both inside and outside of the workplace. These collections of moral imperatives will be used to ethically assess the following scenario. Diane Jones is a computing professional who owns and operates
clients versus a traditional PC is based on cost, security and network traffic. According to 2X Software, A study conducted by Bloor Research shows that “Deploying thin client technology across enterprises can cut costs by up to 70%”. (2X Cloud Computing Software, 2010) There are also cost savings in software since it will run on a server environment there will not be a cost per installation. From the security standpoint, information and data security can be improved with the usage of thin clients
following examples Tutorial 1 – Individual Questions (a) The BCS definition of a professional and two other definitions. Compare the definitions, what do they have in common? The British Computer Society (BCS) is a leading professional body for computing, IT and communication sectors. It was founded in 1957 in the U.K. It has 70,000 members worldwide in more than 100 countries. BCS is an international awarding
Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and American Society of Civil Engineers are four of the many popular organizations available. ACM is a scientific and computing society and is considered the world’s largest at it (computing machinery, n.d.). The organization provides resources to individuals who are in the computing and science field of profession. Some of the resources are things
The code of Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) they have a code of ethics that members follow. The code has twenty-four statements with four sections that covers; ethical considerations, in the section one, professional conduct in section two, leadership and their role is covered in the third, and the principles of compliance is in section four. The creators of Google Glass have broken two of its own codes the first one is Code 1.2 Avoid harm to others. This means that they should not harm
such as trade unions, which have developed them. For example the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct were created by the Association for Computing Machinery. It is stated in the Preamble that Commitment to ethical professional conduct is expected of every member (voting members, associate members, and student members) of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). (P. Mateti). The ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct also includes information covering B2C web sites. The information

Professional IT bodies are concerned about these ethical problems because of their potential harm to the society and to the integrity of the IT profession. The Association Computing Machinery (ACM), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the British Computer Society and International Federation for Information Processing (IFP) came together to formulate codes of ethics and professional conduct for IT professionals

The British Computer Society (BCS) and other professional computer organisations such as the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) recognise the need for today’s graduates to be aware of the issues surrounding the use of computers in all aspects of society.

codes of ethics are the IEEE Code of ethics and the ACM code of ethics. These codes give the foundation for ethics and morals in the worlds of computing and technology. The codes can also be used to give an inside view of some of the biggest problems that Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Known, as the worlds largest professional association dedicated to advancing innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity the IEEE is a sprawling organization.

could be relevant in cloud computing. This is because the emergence of cloud computing exhibits a rudimentary transformation in how information technology services are developed, invented, scaled, deployed, paid for, and maintained. Today, computing is a paradox because computers are rapidly becoming powerful yet the cost of producing them is falling. As a result, computing is emerging as changing trend in the business society. Most clients are heavy users cloud computing owing to statistics that
Based on given case study Australian Computer Society (ACS), Association of Computer machinery (ACM) and Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers are three information technology industry selected for further evaluation. Australian Computer Society (ACS) would evaluate this scenario as unethical as their code of professional
in all-night coffee shops, he would have invented the portable computer." (Press, 1993, p.31) The laptop computer has had a tremendous impact in the areas of business, education, government, and personal use. The emergence of portable computing and the laptop computer can be traced to the introduction of the personal computer itself. In 1975, the MITS Altair 8800 was introduced. The Altair is recognized as being the first commercially successful personal computer and the launching point
influenced by any improved conjecture, is quite mistaken. Provided it is made clear which are proved facts and which are conjectures, no harm can result. Conjectures are of great importance since they suggest useful lines of research” (Turing, “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”) In his thorough biography of Alan Turing, Alan Turing:The Enigma, Andrew Hodges described the self-destruction of HAL in 2001 A Space Odyssey in the following way:“He was only aware of the conflict that was slowly destroying
advise users. What is ethics? Ethics is the art of determining what is right or good. It can also be defined as a general pattern or way of life, a set of rules of conduct or moral code. Ethical guidelines are based on values. The Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) is one national organization which has developed a statement of its values. Every member of ACM is expected to uphold the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct which includes these general moral imperatives: 1) contribute
The number of IT professionals are increasing at a very fast pace and Information Technology is becoming more global as well as complex in nature thus demanding a more comprehensive code of ethics for IT professionals. This critical review examines an article that presents and categories code of ethics for IT professionals in particular and Business professionals in general. The article, “Similarities in Business and IT Professional Ethics: The Need for and Development of A Comprehensive Code of

The Internet is so incredibly popular because it enables us to not only quickly access information from sources all over the world, but also transfer information quickly and easily. Businesses were quick in seeing the benefits the Internet would provide their companies. Soon after phrases like “The Web” and “Web Surfing” began to circulate, computers with Internet

for a licensing board to make guarantees to the public. Second, innovation is important to computing, and the licensing process could actually slow progress. For these reasons, I argue that certification is a more practical approach. Webster's dictionary defines the word "profession" as "a calling requiring specialized knowledge and often long, intensive, academic preparation." The fields of computing, computer programming, and software engineering have all evolved tremendously over the past
Computer scientist, mathematician, and rocket scientist, Annie Easley was born on April 23, 1933 in Birmingham, Alabama. Growing up during the pre civil rights movement, as a child, Easley was encouraged by her mother and father, Willie (Sims) McCrory and Bud McCrory, to get a good education from the fifth grade through high school to become whatever she wanted to be. During this time, educational and career opportunities for African-Americans were very limited. She attended Holy Family High School
