Keith Miller: Outstanding Service 2006 Kathrine Andrews Henderson, Computers & Society editor Office of the Auditor General, State of Arizona kathrinehenderson@azauditor.gov Earlier this spring, I conducted a virtual interview with my friend and colleague Keith Miller. We passed the writing token (as Keith calls the passing of drafts back and forth between writers) a couple of times and our conversation went something like this: [Q1]: Looking back, what was it that first sparked your interest in computer/information ethics? [A]: My technical specialty is software testing. As I worked on problems in that field, I kept bumping up to questions that my reliability statistical formulae couldn t answer. The prime example of such a question was "How good is good enough?" My wife's Ph.D. is in bio-ethics, and I come from a religious family, so it was natural for me to look to ethics for some answers. Soon, I heard about Deborah Johnson's book. I contacted her, and became a "disciple" of hers. Many, many people in philosophy, computing, law, and psychology have been helping me ever since including Don Gotterbarn, Jim Moor, Fran Grodzinsky, Marty Wolf, Cem Kaner, Simon Rogerson, Terry Bynum, Flo Appel, Laurie King, Tracy
