CAD Researchers Hear Professional Ethics Warning

Richard Goering writes on EE Times:

Professional ethics in research, publications, mentoring, and record keeping are an important part of any scientific or engineering field, according to a speaker at the International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) here Tuesday (Nov. 7). But there are "gray" areas where opinions differ, said Frances Houle, research staff member at IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif.

Houle, chair of the 2003 American Physical Society (APS) task force on professional ethics, is a chemist, not an engineer. But several hundred CAD researchers crowded into a ballroom to hear her talk, which was sponsored by the IEEE Council for EDA (CEDA).
