Dear Colleague, this email is to announce the establishment of a new research group in Oxford. The IEG (information ethics research group) is a new, interdisciplinary research group based at the Department of Computer Science (http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/research/areas/) and associated with the Faculty of Philosophy (http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/links/faculty.shtml). The area of research is the philosophy of computing and information, the theoretical field concerned with a) the critical investigation of the conceptual nature and basic principles of information, including its dynamics (especially but not only effective computation), utilisation and sciences, and b) the elaboration and application of information-theoretic and computational methodologies to philosophical problems. In particular, we are interested in the conceptual foundations of Computer Ethics (CE). You will find more information at http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/research/areas/ieg/, the official web site of the group. If you are interested in being kept informed about the research activities of the IEG, please send an email to mailto://luciano.floridi@philosophy.oxford.ac.uk indicating in the main text your research interests, academic affiliation (if any), and preferred email. The IEG mailing list is a low-traffic, fully moderated list. Submitted subscriptions are not automatically processed, may not be accepted, and may be cancelled at any time at the discretion of the coordinators.
