A practical framework for ethics: the PD-Net approach to supporting ethics compliance in public display studies

摘要

Langheinrich et al. present a formal process for ensuring ethical compliance in the implementation of the EU-funded PD-Net project. (PD refers to "public display." The project involves "large scale networks of pervasive public displays and associated sensors.") The process is especially useful in countries that do not have well-established human factors protocols. The formal aspect of the process enhances research that is multi-disciplinary and multi-site.
