	abstract = {The emerging interest for realistic controlled experiments in computer science has created a need for focus on related research ethics. Increased realism and scale in experimental studies pose new challenges which have not been debated to a sufficient extent. Specifically, there can be conflicts between the ethical principles of scientific value and informed consent. This paper provides an account of related previous work in computer science research ethics. To illustrate, two large scale software engineering experiments with industrial participants are described. Challenges and solutions in these experiments are discussed in light of current ethical guidelines. Interviews and debriefing sessions with industrial participants from these, and other, experiments are also provided. These reveal that there not necessarily will be ethical problems with increased realism, given that the researchers respect the principles of informed consent, benefice and confidentiality.},
