Submissions are solicited on, but not limited to, the following themes / questions:

• What kinds of values and value-conflicts are (in)expressible in algorithmic form?
• Can ethical behaviour be guaranteed or verified in computational media?
• Implementation of ethical reasoning mechanisms founded on non-western ethical traditions
• Can artificial moral decision-making be decoupled from mere implementation of normative ethical theories? 
• Privacy and Trust relationships between humans and machines in the presence of hybrid actions
• Implementation of ethical reasoning in logic-based methods
• Representation of ethical principles in AI agents
• Machine-learning based approaches to ethical reasoning
• Development of machine ethics in cognitive robot programs
• Robot learning for ethical reasoning
• Integration of symbolic and neural information systems for ethical reasoning
• Development of formal frameworks for ethical decision-making
• Techniques for explaining the ethical reasoning of AI agents
• Frameworks for ethical collaboration between humans and AI agents
• Building trust in intelligent systems through ethical design and interaction
