Abstract
Software systems bring great benefits to people’s lives. Nevertheless, they can cause issues in terms of social and ethical implications toward individuals and society, and compromise their ethical values. Therefore, it is crucial to consider all potentially-concerned stakeholders during the system design process, as they are the primary source of value and requirements identification. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effect that two ethics-driven instruments we have created (i.e., a stakeholder map and a value model) may have on supporting ethical considerations (such as stakeholder and ethical value), using the case of an Access Control System. The paper presents the insights gained from this evaluation, performed as a retrospective study.
