Ethics is currently an issue of considerable importance to accountants, and there have been calls from the accounting profession for greater attention to be paid to this topic. The paper reports on a study which examined the ethical perceptions of accounting and computer science students. The research also compared the perceptions of a New Zealand group with those of an international group (mainly composed of Malaysians), and examined the effect on interviewees’ perceptions of previous education, or lack of it, on the topic of computer ethics. There were significant differences particularly between accounting and computing students, and between New Zealand and Malaysian students.Date

Rural Informatization in ChinaZhen-Wei Qiang, Christine; Sudan, Randeep; Bhavnani, Asheeta; Hanna, Nagy K.; Kimura, Kaoru (World Bank, 2012-04-04)China's recent economic growth has
 expanded industrialization and urbanization, upgraded
 consumption, increased social mobility, and initiated a
 shift from an economy based on agriculture to one based on
 industry and services. Still more than half of China's
 people still live in rural areas where average income per
 capita is less than a third of the urban average, a gap that
 is among the largest in the world. Reducing these
 differences is critical to building a harmonious, inclusive
 society. This report draws from background research
 conducted by the advisory committee for state
 informatization, and attempts to provide an overview of
 China's rural information and communications technology
 (ICT) development primarily in the past 15 years. The report
 first describes the status of China's rural
 informatization infrastructure. It then reviews existing
 rural ICT initiatives in China and summarizes them by
 organizational models. International examples are included
 to draw lessons from. Finally, the challenges of rural
 informatization are examined, and policy recommendations
 identified to address them.

It was carried out in the context of the European project CoMMA focusing on two application scenarios: support technology monitoring activities and assist the integration of a new employee to the organisation. Three aspects were essentially developed in this work: the design of a multi-agents architecture supporting both scenarios, and the organisational top-down approach followed to identify the societies, the roles and the interactions of agents; the construction of the ontology O'CoMMA and the structuring of a corporate memory exploiting semantic Web technologies; the design and implementation of the sub-societies of agents dedicated to the management of the annotations and the ontology and of the protocols underlying these groups of agents, in particular techniques for distributing annotations and queries between the agents.

International Study on the Impact of Copyright Law on Digital PreservationMossink, Wilma; Coates, Jessica M.; Fitzgerald, Brian F.; Carroll, Emma F.; Atkinson, Benedict A.; Muir, Adrienne; LeFurgy, William; Besek, June M. (2008-07)This study focuses on the copyright and related laws of Australia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States and the impact of those laws on digital preservation of copyrighted works. It also addresses proposals for legislative reform and efforts to develop non-legislative solutions to the challenges that copyright law presents for digital preservation.
