Goals and Motivation
Including human values into the development of software-intensive systems has long been a topic of discussion. A satisfactory solution such as a collection of (software-supported) methods or a model gallery for ethical argumentation has not yet been developed. This workshop will work on collecting methods for incorporating values into system development. Two particular methods, the Square of Values (SoV) and the Software Sustainability Assessment (SoSA) approaches, will be examined in more detail.
A specific focus of the workshop lies on how ethical reasoning can be supported with the help of software-tools.
Topics
We encourage participants to submit papers to the following topics:
- Theoretical ideas about methods for incorporating human values into system development
- Application examples and experience reports for ethical modeling methods
- Conceptual integration of values into modeling
- Presentation of frameworks and/or method collections for ethical modeling
- Evaluation results for the application of value-oriented methods
- Application examples of concrete values in modeled systems
Related topics are welcome

The target group of the workshop are scientists and practitioners from information systems, computer science and related disciplines who are interested in ethical issues and values in the context of requirements engineering and system development. A background in the field of philosophy is not a prerequisite for participating in the workshop. The workshop aims at attracting interested participants of the entire conference.
