Many challenges lie ahead in the development of a global
information society. Culture and democracy are two areas which may
be under particular threat. The book reflects on today's complex
and uncertain cultural and democratic developments arising as a
result of an increasingly global, technologically-connected world.
In particular it focuses on the Internet, examining new metaphors
for communication, defining the issues at stake and proposing
options, actions and solutions. Among the issues discussed were:
multi-cultural developments; cultural sensitivities and the
involvement of cultural minorities; generation gaps; gender issues;
technology access for the elderly and the disabled; technology
transfer.

This major reference work represents the first attempt to confront,
on a world-wide basis, the way computer associations face up to
their own responsibilities in an age increasingly dominated by
information and communication technology. The book deals with the
codes of ethics and conduct, and related issues. It is the first
book to deal with homogenous codes namely codes of national
computer societies. Some thirty codes are compared and analysed in
depth. To put these into perspective, there are discussion papers
covering the methodological, philosophical and organisational
issues.

The present book contains the proceedings of two conferences held
at the World Computer Congress 2010 in Brisbane, Australia
(September 20-23) organised by the International Federation for
Information Processing (IFIP). In the first part, the reader can
find the proceedings of the 9th Human Choice and Computers
International C- ference (HCC9) organised by the IFIP Technical
Committee TC9 on the Relationship Between ICT and Society. The HCC9
part is subdivided into four tracks: Ethics and ICT Governance,
Virtual Technologies and Social Shaping, Surveillance and Privacy,
and ICT and Sustainable Development. The second part consists of
papers given at the Critical Information Infrastructure Protection
Conference (CIP) organized by the IFIP Technical Committee TC11 on
Security and Privacy Protection in Information Processing Systems.
The two parts of the book are introduced by the respective
Conference Chairs. Chapter 1 introduces HCC9, providing a short
summary of the HCC conference series, which started in 1974, and
explaining the overview of HCC9, detailing the rationale behind
each of the tracks in this conference. The details related to the
papers of each track are discussed by the Track Chairs in the
respective introductions to the specific tracks of HCC9 (Chaps. 2,
10, 16 and 22). Finally, Chap. 22 introduces the CIP part.
