AICT600 IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology

In August 2021 IFIP published its “AICT600 IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology” – the jubilee book with chapters across a range of IFIP members celebrating the 60th anniversary of the creation of IFIP by UNESCO.

David had two chapters in this book, one of which was a short introduction to the recently published IFIP Code of Ethics, followed by the Code of Ethics itself.

The second was a history of Technical Committee 9 and the Human Choice and Computers conference series, co-authored with Gordon Fletcher.  Both chapters are available to download for free.

“The Impact of Human Choice and Computers and Technical Committee 9 on ICTs and Society: A Critical Sociotechnical Tale”

Abstract:

In this chapter we briefly recount the history of the Human Choice and Computers conference series, and of Technical Committee 9, and show that not only has there been a marked focus, over more than four decades, on a critical and sociotechnical approach to understanding the relationship between ICTs and society, but that HCC and TC9 might be regarded as the original and continuing home of the critical academic voice in ICT. We show this through a textual analysis of the proceedings of the conferences, and through biographical detail concerning the key players involved.
