This refers to an ideal state expected of a solution that is technically efficient, financially viable, legally admissible, socially desirable, and ethically acceptable. Another dimension “environmentally sustainable” was added making a hexa-dimension model was developed and presented for consideration as a metric for the design of a code of conduct corporate-wide or functional unit based (Lee, 2015d AU16: The citation "Lee, 2015d" matches multiple references.

Abstract
Ethical Computing is instrumental in identifying and reaching a near-ideal solution to the problems arising from an environment that is technology-driven information-intensive. Many of these problems could have been avoided, occur, because we are either insensitive to or ignorant of their ethical implications. As a result, we could reach only a partial, compromised solution at best. An ideal solution is expected to be technically efficient, financially viable and legal admissible, ethically acceptable, socially desirable, and in many situations environmentally-friendly (the so-called hexa-dimension criteria), and balanced in terms the six criteria or five criteria (in case the problem does not involve ecological concerns). An exposition of an ideal solution in terms of the requisite competence and the additive is presented.
