AAAS CASES ON ANONYMOUS COMMUNICATIONS ON THE INTERNET

This set of cases was prepared as part of a project by the American Association for the Advancement of Science on "Anonymous Communications on the Internet: Uses and Abuses." The study was funded by the National Science Foundation (Grant no. SBR-9529238) with support from its Program on Ethics and Values Studies and the Directorate for Computer Information Science and Engineering. Although fictionalized, the cases are based on data collected during the course of the project by AAAS staff and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. Co-Principal Investigators for the project were Albert H. Teich and Mark S. Frankel, who along with Patrick Ball, Deborah Runkle and Rachel Gray of the AAAS staff, authored these cases. The cases may be downloaded and used for educational purposes.
