It is important to show clearly the ways in which the acceptance, recording and discharge of responsibilities are reflected in the technical systems which mediate social relationships. Particularly in the presence of social and human failure. The general problem is knowing how to draw boundaries around domains of distinct responsibilities, the scope of differing sets of ethical principles, the limits of various levels of trust, and how to reflect these boundaries in an information system. Understanding these issues will help us design complex systems that can support the interaction of the participants in that system and their constant renegotiations of role. IRC research in this area will both look at ways to express responsibility structures and their use in the design of dependable systems.
