Relationship between the scientific and traditional software engineering considering the ethical aspects of human-computer interaction

Abstract

© Springer International Publishing AG 2017.Software engineering (SE) is a discipline that studies process, methods and tools to build a software. The SE applied in scientific experiments tries to insert those process, methods and tools to build an academic research. One relevant aspect when applying the SE in scientific experiments is the evolvement of humans during the experimentation process. The discipline that studies computer domains involving humans is the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The HCI is a field that collaborates with the ethical processes of SE. This article demonstrates the relationship of the concepts and how HCI collaborates with the evolution of the ethical aspects of the traditional SE, and its application to scientific computing, including the some of the ethics applied in medicine.
