Responsible Management of Information Systems

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stahl, Bernd Carsten, PUBLISHER: IGI Global, Responsible Management of Information Systems discusses ong>theong> question how can information systems be used and managed in a responsible manner.

After demonstrating that ong>theong> traditional notion of responsibility runs into many problems when applied to information systems ong>theong> ong>bookong> develops a new, a reflective ong>theong>ory of responsibility. This ong>theong>ory that emphasizes ong>theong> central characteristics of responsibility, namely openness, consequentialism, and teleology, is ong>theong>n applied to normative problems in information systems. It is shown that with ong>theong> use of this ong>theong>ory ong>theong> central moral and legal problems of information systems such as privacy or intellectual property can be successfully addressed.

Confronting Scale in Archaeology: Issues of Theory and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lock, Gary / Molyneaux, Brian Leigh, PUBLISHER: Springer, Without realizing, most archaeologists shift within a scale of interpretation of material culture. Material ong>dataong> is interpreted from ong>theong> scale of an individual in a specific place and time and ong>theong>n shifts to ong>theong> complex dynamics of cultural groups extending over time and space. This ignoring of scale is ong>theong> a oeconcessiona archaeologists make to interpretation. ong>Theong> introduction of geographical information systems (GIS) remote sensing, and virtual reality have expanded ong>theong> scale at which ong>dataong> is interpreted even more, using multiple scales at ong>theong> same time without recognizing ong>theong> significance of ong>theong>ir actions. This ong>bookong> discusses ong>theong> cultural, social and spatial aspects of scale and its impact on archaeology in practical and applicable cases. Each author takes one of ong>theong> fundamental elements of archaeology - from ong>theong> experience of time and space to ong>theong> visualization of individuals, sites and landscapes to ong>theong> intricacies of archaeological discourse - and shows how an awareness of scale can create new and exciting interpretations.
