Abstract
Most practising software engineers would probably accept that the present professional climate does appear to support “ethics” as a professionally relevant issue [Myers95]. Many of the most important indicators certainly point in this direction. Codes of professional conduct have been revised and promoted, articles and books have been written, and conferences held. Professional issues are now even considered by the British Computer Society (BCS) and many universities to form an essential part of the training of every computer scientist.
