商品描述
Ethics and Human Behaviour in ICT Development discusses ethics in a professional context and encourages readers to self-assessment of their own behaviour. It provides thought-provoking accounts of the little-known early history of technological development in information and communication technology (ICT) and the automation industry in Poland, with a focus on Wroclaw. The book provides a framework for understanding the relationship between ethics and behaviour, and analyses critically ethical and behavioural issues in challenging workplaces and social contexts. It includes:
- case studies from around the world, especially Poland, which illustrate the relationships between human behaviour and ethics;
- biographies of successful Polish ICT and automation leading designers;
- analysis of case studies of human behaviour and ethics in challenging industrial development and other environments; and
- illustrative practical applications alongside the theory of human behaviour and ethics.
The authors demonstrate the ingenuity of the early Polish designers, programmers and other specialists in overcoming the shortage of components caused by import embargoes to enable Poland to develop its own computer industry. An example of this is Elwro, formerly the largest manufacturer of computers in Poland. The discussion of its growth illustrates the potential of human creativity to overcome problems. The discussion of its fall highlights the importance of ethical approaches to technology transfer and the dangers of a colonialist mentality.
The book is designed for engineers, computer scientists, researchers and professionals alike, as well as being of interest for those broadly concerned with ethics and human behaviour.

《資訊與通訊技術發展中的倫理與人類行為》探討了專業背景下的倫理問題，並鼓勵讀者自我評估自己的行為。書中提供了關於資訊與通訊技術（ICT）及自動化產業在波蘭，特別是弗羅茨瓦夫（Wroclaw）早期發展歷史的深刻見解。該書提供了一個理解倫理與行為之間關係的框架，並批判性地分析了在挑戰性工作場所和社會環境中的倫理與行為問題。內容包括：
- 來自世界各地的案例研究，特別是波蘭，這些案例展示了人類行為與倫理之間的關係；
- 成功的波蘭資訊與通訊技術及自動化領域的設計師傳記；
- 在挑戰性工業發展及其他環境中，人類行為與倫理的案例研究分析；
- 與人類行為和倫理理論相輔相成的實用應用示例。
作者展示了早期波蘭設計師、程式設計師及其他專業人士的創造力，如何克服因進口禁運造成的元件短缺，使波蘭能夠發展自己的電腦產業。其中一個例子是 Elwro，曾是波蘭最大的電腦製造商。對其成長的討論展示了人類創造力克服問題的潛力，而對其衰退的討論則突顯了在技術轉移中採取倫理方法的重要性及殖民心態的危險。
本書旨在為工程師、計算機科學家、研究人員及專業人士提供參考，同時也對廣泛關心倫理與人類行為的人士具有吸引力。
作者簡介
For the last twelve years Bohdan has been involved in investigation of ethical and human behaviour aspects of the information and communication technology and automation. He has a one-person research and translation firm BPBIT Leader LLC. He is a chartered electronic engineer and a chartered mathematician (with distinction).
He has 280 publications. Previous books include a monograph in English and Polish on Performance Evaluation Problems for Actual Computer Networks and book chapters Engineering Ethics Problems in a Developing Country and Human Behaviour Case Studies for the ICT and Automation Industry in Poland.
Dr Marion Hersh is a senior lecturer in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Glasgow. She is both a chartered engineer and a chartered mathematician with a first degree in mathematics and a PhD in control engineering. She currently carries out interdisplinary research in assistive technology, disability studies, engineering ethics and accessible and sustainable design.
Her previous books include Ethical Engineering for International Development and Environmental Sustainability, Mathematical Modelling for Sustainable Development and two books on Assistive Technology, for blind and deaf people respectively. She set up and convenes the Working Group on Ethics of the International Federation of Automatic Control and has published articles and has published journal articles on narrative ethics, stereotyping and ethics, whistleblowing and barriers to engineering ethics. She has organised several invited sessions on engineering, technology and ethics.
She has organised and chaired a series of six international conferences on Assistive Technology for People with Hearing and Sight Impairments, an international conference on Using New Technologies for Inclusive Learning, and an international conference on Barriers and Enablers to Learning Maths, with another planned for 2017. She recently researched the travel experiences and need for new technologies of blind, visually impaired and deaf-blind people in 10 different countries on a Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship and is currently researching the experiences of autistic women. Her assistive technology development projects include a communication glove for deaf-blindpeople, smart travel aids for blind people and devices to support leisure travel for blind people. She has developed a three-component model of the causes of conflict, a three-component model of the travel processes of blind people and a classication and evaluation framework for ICT-based learning technologies for disabled people and co-developed the Comprehensive Assistive Technology (CAT) model.
Dr Hersh is a member of Scientists for Global Responsibility and vice-chair of the International Federation of Automatic Control Working Group Tecis 9.5. She speaks eight languages fluently and has basic to moderate knowledge of a number of others, including British Sign Language.

喬茲夫·博赫丹·萊沃茨博士是波蘭資訊與通信技術（ICT）領域的先驅之一，並且與許多其他先驅有著密切的關係，包括同事、朋友、學生和老師。他是多個重要波蘭計算機系統和網絡應用項目的主要設計師，特別是在電力系統方面。他還對計算機系統和網絡進行了研究，無論是他自己開發的還是其他的，特別關注性能評估和穩健性。
在過去的十二年中，博赫丹一直致力於研究資訊與通信技術及自動化的倫理和人類行為方面。他擁有一家名為BPBIT Leader LLC的個人研究和翻譯公司。他是一名特許電子工程師和特許數學家（優異成績）。
他擁有280篇出版物。之前的書籍包括一本關於實際計算機網絡性能評估問題的英語和波蘭語專著，以及書籍章節《發展中國家的工程倫理問題》和《波蘭ICT與自動化行業的人類行為案例研究》。
瑪莉安·赫爾什博士是格拉斯哥大學生物醫學工程的高級講師。她同時是一名特許工程師和特許數學家，擁有數學學士學位和控制工程博士學位。她目前從事助行技術、殘疾研究、工程倫理以及可及和可持續設計的跨學科研究。
她之前的書籍包括《國際發展與環境可持續性的倫理工程》、《可持續發展的數學建模》以及兩本關於助行技術的書籍，分別針對盲人和聾人。她成立並主持了國際自動控制聯合會的倫理工作組，並發表了有關敘事倫理、刻板印象與倫理、舉報行為及工程倫理障礙的期刊文章。她組織了幾個有關工程、技術和倫理的邀請會議。
她組織並主持了一系列六場針對聽力和視力障礙人士的助行技術國際會議、一場關於使用新技術進行包容性學習的國際會議，以及一場關於學習數學的障礙與促進因素的國際會議，並計劃在2017年舉辦另一場會議。她最近在十個不同國家進行了一項研究，調查盲人、視障者和聾盲者的旅行經歷及對新技術的需求，這項研究是基於Leverhulme Trust研究獎學金，目前正在研究自閉症女性的經歷。她的助行技術開發項目包括為聾盲人士設計的通訊手套、為盲人提供的智能旅行輔助工具，以及支持盲人休閒旅行的設備。她開發了衝突原因的三組分模型、盲人旅行過程的三組分模型，以及針對殘疾人士的ICT基礎學習技術的分類和評估框架，並共同開發了綜合助行技術（CAT）模型。
