Folks,
The 11th International Conference on 'Standardisation and Innovation in
Information Technology (SIIT)' will be held in Aachen, Germany, on 8 -
10 September 2021. The idea still is to have a 'real' conference. The
theme is 'The Past, Present and FUTURE of ICT Standardisation'. SIIT
will be held back-to-back with the 25th EURAS Annual Standardisation
Conference (https://www.euras.org/conference/cfP).
You will find the CfP below; submission deadline is 26 April. For
further information please visit siit2021.org.
Hope to see you there.
Greetings from Aachen.
Kai.
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
11bth International Conference on
Standardisation and Innovation in Information Technology (SIIT)
- The Past, Present and FUTURE of ICT Standardisation -
8 - 10 September 2021
RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany
Standardisation in a changing world
Over the past decade, the ICT industry has undergone a dramatic
transformation. One effect of this has been a shift of economic and
technical power to some of the largest corporations in the world. This
has had massive ramification for investments in this sector, as well as
for the ecosystem of ICT application and product development. Has this
development impacted standardisation and innovation and if so, how?
Moreover, it appears that the ICT industry has become overly obsessed
with being first and being unique; change has become a desirable end in
itself. In such an environment, standardisation may quickly be
devaluated in stakeholders'mind sets. It is still necessary but ╘someone
else's problem'.And this will lead to long term (interoperability) problems.
Against this background, SIIT 2020 aims to take a step back and do some
stock-taking. What have we got? What do we need? How can we close the
gap (if any)? Where will we probably go from here and where should we
go? Can we learn something from history? How do ongoing technical,
economic, political, social or legal developments impact
standardisation, and how can/should the current standardisation system
adapt to these developments (if at all)?
Since 1999, SIIT conferences are bringing together experts from
academia, government and industry with an interest in ICT
standardisation. It thus serves as a platform to foster the exchange of
insights and views on all issues surrounding standards, standardisation
and innovation. Contributing academic disciplines include, but are by no
means limited to: Business Studies, Computer Science, Economics,
Engineering, History, Information Systems, Law, Management Studies and
Sociology.
Topics
All types of papers (e.g. theoretical, empirical, analytical, case
studies) are welcome. We specifically encourage submissions that relate
directly to the conference theme. However, all submissions that foster
our understanding of innovation and standardisation, the links that
exist between them and with the broader technical, social or legal
environment will be considered. Aspects include, but are certainly not
limited to:
* Standardisation in a flux!?
* ICT Standardisation in the world's different regions.
* The impact of legal and societal developments on standardisation.
* Smart systems'standardisation - stakeholders, society, environment,
sustainability.
* Patterns of participation in ICT standards setting.
* Powerful players in the ICT industry vs. standardisation?
* Will concerns about Huawei (and others) impact ICT standardisation?
* Can we learn from the past?
* Impact of standards (e.g. on innovation, competition, convergence).
* Alternative interoperability strategies .
* Adoption, implementation and diffusion of standards.
* Standardisation management and strategies.
* Standards setting processes and organisations.
* Open standards, open source, open innovation
* IPRs and the legal dimension of standards.
* Standardisation policies and regulation.
* Economics of standards.
* History of standardisation.
Paper Submissions
SIIT 2021 invites submissions of original (unpublished) papers for one
of these categories:
* Academic papers will typically adopt a more theoretical approach and
will ideally inform academics as well as practitioners (up to 20 pages).
* Industry papers address relevant topics from a more practical
perspective and should also help ╘ground'academic research (up to 20 pages).
* Presentation papers are intended for presentation only. They will not
be published in the conference proceedings in order to allow a
subsequent journal publication (relevant to certain fields of science;
up to 20 pages).
* Opinion papers should focus on well-motivated personal views (up to 10
pages).
* Work-in-progress papers report and discuss ongoing activities (up to
10 pages).
* Poster papers will typically report new ideas or early work in
progress (up to 5 pages).
All papers should adhere to the formatting guidelines and will undergo a
double blind peer-review process. Authors may submit more than one
paper, but each author will be allowed to present only one paper during
the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper is required
to register for the conference and present the paper, otherwise the
paper will not be included in the proceedings.
A paper template with formatting guidelines may be found at
https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/downloads/SIIT_Template_Submissions.zip
Submissions must be made through the EasyChair system at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=siit2021.
All accepted papers (except presentation papers) will be published in
the conference proceedings, as part of the ╘EURAS Contributions to
Standardisation Research'book series (no copyright transfer required).
They will also be fast-tracked for inclusion in the International
Journal on Standardization Research (IJSR) (subject to approval by the
authors).
