论文摘要
计算机科学领域也许与行业有着独特的联系。例如，我们的主要出版物（即会议）经常由大型技术公司赞助，我们的许多研究资金都是由行业直接或间接提供的。反过来，这将对学术自由的潜在局限性置于一个深远的道德问题上，但奇怪的是在现有的道德规范中并没有直接解决。限制学术自由的领域表明了内部工作结果的风险不能总是依靠。在一个可能在与行业的联系和对社会影响的领域的背景下，需要采取特殊措施来解决这一问题。本文讨论了可以提供的保护范围。
The field of computer science is perhaps uniquely connected with industry. For example, our main publication outlets (i.e. conferences) are regularly sponsored by large technology companies, and much of our research funding is either directly or indirectly provided by industry. In turn, this places potential limitations on academic freedom, which is a profound ethical concern, yet curiously is not directly addressed within existing ethical codes. A field that limits academic freedom presents the risk that the results of the work conducted within it cannot always be relied upon. In the context of a field that is perhaps unique in both its connection to industry and impact on society, special measures are needed to address this problem. This paper discusses the range of protections that could be provided.
