Simon Rogerson is lifetime Professor Emeritus in Computer Ethics at the Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility (CCSR), De Montfort University.[1] He was the founder and editor for 19 volumes of the Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society.[2] He has had two careers; first as a technical software developer and then in academia as reformer (according to Huff and Barnard[3]). He was the founding Director of CCSR, launching it in 1995 at the first ETHICOMP conference which he conceived [4] and co-directed until 2013.[5] He became Europe's first Professor in Computer Ethics in 1998.[6] His most important research focuses on providing rigorously grounded practical tools and guidance to computing practitioners. For his leadership and research achievements in the computer and information ethics interdisciplinary field he was awarded the fifth IFIP-WG9.2 Namur Award in 2000[7] and the SIGCAS Making a Difference Award in 2005.[8]
