This is the home of the Working Group on ICT Uses in Peace and War. This group is part of Technical Committee 9 on ICT and Society.

Aim and Scope

The aim of this working group is to focus the efforts of academia and research institutions, industry, governments, civic society, and the military to promote creative thinking in this field and to encourage viable solutions to so-far unanswered questions. This group encourages dialogue by providing a platform for the presentation of research papers, current research or the results of research in progress, case studies, use cases, lessons learned, and risk assessment/impact assessment.

The scope of the working group includes any aspects that pertain to how ICT may influence, affect, or threaten individuals, society or nations in relation to either war or peace, as well as how these concerns are perceived by these three levels of grouping (persons, society or nations).
