Call for Papers for Philosophy and Technology’s special issue on The Ethics of Cyber Conflicts
by Mariariosaria Taddeo 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Dear Colleagues, Apologies for cross posting Call for Papers for Philosophy and Technology’s special issue on The Ethics of Cyber Conflicts GUEST EDITORS Ludovica Glorioso (NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence) INTRODUCTION In the age of the so-called information revolution, the ability to control, disrupt or manipulate the enemy’s information infrastructure has become as decisive as weapon superiority with respect to determining the outcome of conflicts. So much so that the Pentagon defines cyberspace as a new domain in which war is waged, alongside land, sea, air and space. Cyber conflicts, as part of a state’s defensive or offensive strategy, are a fast growing phenomenon, which is rapidly changing the dynamics of combat as well as the role that warfare plays in political negotiations and the life of civil societies. Such changes are not the exclusive concern of the military. They also have a significant bearing on ethicists and policymakers, since existing ethical theories of war, together with national and international regulations, struggle to address the novelties of this phenomenon. The issue could not be more pressing and there is a much felt and fast escalating need to share information and coordinate ethical theorising about cyber conflicts. This special issue of Springer’s Philosophy & Technology (http://www.springer.com/13347) follows the organization of the international workshop on Ethics of Cyber Conflict (http://www.ccdcoe.org/428.html) held on November 21-22, 2013 at the Centro Alti Studi per la Difesa (CASD) with the support of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence. TOPICS We solicit the submission of papers that investigate issues concerning the way ICTs are affecting our ethical views of conflicts and warfare, as well as the analysis of just-war principles in the light of the dissemination of cyber conflicts; humanitarian military interventions based on ICTs; whether preventive acts of cyber war may satisfy jus-ad-bellum criteria; challenges of upholding jus-in-bello standards in cyber warfare, especially in asymmetric conflicts; attribution and proportionality of the response to cyber attacks; moral permissibility of automated responses and ethical deployment of military robotic weapons. TIMETABLE April 1, 2014: Deadline papers submissions May 1, 2014: Deadline reviews papers June 1, 2014: Deadline revised papers 2015: Publication of the special issue SUBMISSION DETAILS To submit a paper for this special issue, authors should go to the journal’s Editorial Manager http://www.editorialmanager.com/phte/ The author (or a corresponding author for each submission in case of co- authored papers) must register into EM. The author must then select the special article type: "Special issue on The Ethics of Cyber Conflicts” from the selection provided in the submission process. This is needed in order to assign the submissions to the Guest Editors. Submissions will then be assessed according to the following procedure: New Submission => Journal Editorial Office => Guest Editor(s) => Reviewers => Reviewers’ Recommendations => Guest Editor(s)’ Recommendation => Editor-in-Chief’s Final Decision => Author Notification of the Decision. The process will be reiterated in case of requests for revisions. For any further information please contact: Ludovica Glorioso, ludovica.glorioso(a)ccdcoe.org -- Dr. Mariarosaria Taddeo Research Fellow in Cyber Security and Ethics, PAIS, University of Warwick Research Associate - Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, University of Oxford President, International Association for Computing and Philosophy http://rosariataddeo.net

The "Internet of Things" is the term used to describe the networking of devices that have not traditionally been used to collect or process data. Internet connectivity and data collection mechanisms are being added to devices as diverse as pacemakers, athletic equipment, light bulbs, and coffee makers. As the networking of these devices becomes more prevalent in everyday life, legal and policy issues are now at the forefront of business and regulators' agendas. For example, the FTC and other government organizations have expressed concern over privacy, security, and even technological and financing considerations. This conference seeks to address these wide-ranging issues and explore the legal framework that can support innovation along with the protection of society. *What*: What is your car saying to your shoes?

Could you circulate this around IU and/or other organizations? Hope you are well! *International Symposium: MOOD-Y (Micro-Analysis Of Online Data in York)* *University of York, UK, 14-15 July, 2014.* The analysis of online social behaviours is a vital aspect of contemporary social science, and it is important that large-scale data analysis is complemented by the detailed, qualitative analysis of interaction processes. Through themed presentations of empirical research and methodological processes on the first day, as well as researcher-led collaborative data workshops on the second day, the MOOD-Y symposium will provide a space for developing the theory and methodology of interaction(al) analysis of online social behaviour. The symposium will be appropriate for a range of participants, from specialists in particular analytic perspectives (such as Conversation Analysis, multimodality, Critical Discourse Analysis and cognate areas) to qualitative researchers interested in developing their analytic skills in relation to online data. A substantial aim for the symposium is to further develop an already flourishing interdisciplinary and international network of scholars who share an interest in the analysis of online interactional processes. The symposium has four invited keynote speakers - Wyke Stommel, Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands - Trena Paulus, University of Tennessee, USA - Jessica Lester, Indiana University, USA - David Giles, The University of Winchester, UK *Call for papers and participation* We invite 200-500 word proposals for papers that address the qualitative, micro-analytic examination of online data in all its forms, including audio, video and other textual materials. The proposals may deal with either theoretical or methodological issues relating to this area, and may include the use of perspectives such as conversation analysis, forms of discourse analysis, multimodal analysis. Some indicative paper topics include: · Methods for studying interaction in social media (both synchronous and asynchronous) · Using techniques from conversation analysis, discourse analysis and other forms of interactional analysis to investigate online data · Challenges in applying methodologies developed for speech to the study of interaction through text, images and video · Developing methodologies for specific data formats (e.g. discussion threads; comment fields; music compositions; video contributions) · Use of new technologies for data collection, management, analysis and representation · Reports on the findings of an empirical study of online interaction · Discussion of the ethical issues of domain access and data gathering · The relevance of the online/offline divide for the study of online communities · Situating microanalytic techniques within broader research frameworks Proposals should be emailed in Word or PDF format to both Darren Reed ( darren.reed(a)york.ac.uk <Darren.reed(a)york.ac.uk>) and Will Gibson ( w.gibson(a)ioe.ac.uk) by the end of April 30th 2014.

Survey Monkey Export Summary of Individual Responses: REQUEST FOR HELP
by Skaidra Puodziunas 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Hello AOIR friends, This mailing list has a track-record for being incredibly helpful, so I'm asking for a helping hand... *Brief background to my problem.... * I'm currently working with Survey Monkey (the SELECT option) to recruit respondents for my online thesis. Recently I had to export all of my data. In doing so, it wiped all of my survey respondents from the Survey Monkey system. The problem is that when I exported my data, I hit *export summary data*. What I really need are summary of i*ndividual responses. * *Why is this a problem? *To answer the empirical questions in my survey, I need more than just respondent count. This is effectively all that Survey Monkey provides when you hit export summary data. I really need to find a way to get my individual response summaries... *Hence, my question(s) for all of you incredibly fabulous researchers ...* 1. Does Survey Monkey have some kind of "back-up"/ e-copy/ provide ANY way for researchers to retrieve their previously exported data? My hope is that I can find a way to re-export my data. 2. If you don't personally have any leads for my first question, might you have leads/resources/helpful links I could check out? Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you, kindly in advance! Skaidra. *Skaidra Puodziunas | *@SkaidraP 4B Honours Knowledge Integration<https://uwaterloo.ca/knowledge-integration/> & Speech Communication University of Waterloo
