DESCRIPTION:Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR) announces its 
 annual conference, at Stanford University, on the topic “Technology in 
 Wartime.” This one-day conference will be held January 26, 2008, and 
 feature a diverse array of speakers from computer scientists, policy 
 makers, and military professionals, to human rights workers, civil 
 liberties legal activists, and academics. The goal of this non-partisan 
 conference will be to consider the ethical implications of wartime 
 technologies and how these technologies are likely to affect civilization 
 in years to come. Ultimately we want to engage a pressing question of our 
 time: What should socially-responsible computer professionals do in a time 
 of high tech warfare? \n\nSpeakers will include Bruce Schneier (BT 
 Counterpane), Barbara Simons (ACM), Herb Lin (National Academy of 
 Sciences), Cindy Cohn (Electronic Frontier Foundation), Patrick Ball 
 (Benetech), Terry Winograd (Stanford University), Neil Rowe (Naval Defense 
 Academy), Nick Mathewson (the Tor project), Ronald Arkin (Georgia Tech's 
 Mobile Robots Lab) and Noah Shachtman (Wired magazine's war correspondent). 
 The proceedings will be broadcast live on the Web, and the presentations 
 collected in book form online, released under an open license, and made 
 available to the public and policy makers looking for expert opinions on 
 wartime technology issues during the election year. \n\nFor a complete list 
 of speakers and a schedule, visit www.technologyinwartime.org. 
 \n\nRegistration is open. You can register at
