2nd Call for Papers

Workshop 'Standardising the IoT and its Applications' (SITA)
<https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/team/kai-jakobs/workshop-standardising-the-iot-and-its-applications>


In conjunction with 
FiCloud 2016 - The 4th International Conference on
Future Internet of Things and Cloud
<http://www.ficloud.org/2016/index.php>

22/23/24 August 2016, Vienna, Austria



Objective of the Workshop
-------------------------
The IoT will provide the communication infrastructure for a host of new fields of applications, including e.g. Smart Cities, Smart Grid, Intelligent Transport Systems and, perhaps most generally, Cyber-Physical Systems. These applications are likely to influence our lives to a degree previously unheard of. The associated required levels of security, privacy and trust, along with the highly multi-disciplinary nature of these applications and their respective functional requirements represents considerable challenges for the underlying standardisation process. This workshop will discuss these challenges and how the standardisation environment may live up to them.

Topics Covered (this is a non-exclusive list)
-  Support of multi-disciplinary standardisation;
-  New ways of co-operation between standards bodies;
-  Potential new standardisation landscapes;
-  Adequate stakeholder participation;
-  'Privacy by design' and standardisation;
-  Societal issues;
-  Regulatory aspects.

Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Original (unpublished) papers not exceeding 6 pages (preferred) or extended abstracts of 2 pages are solicited. A paper template and associated instructions may be found at
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.  
All papers will undergo a double blind peer-review process. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings. (Extended versions of) particularly good and relevant papers will be considered for inclusion in the International Journal on IT Standards and Standardization Research (JITSR). 
All submissions (in .doc/.docx/.rtf/ format) should be sent to: Kai.Jakobs at comsys.rwth-aachen.de.
