[AISWorld] Reminder - CfP: Standardisation Management

[Kai Jakobs]

****With apologies for cross-posting. But look at the bright side - the
more often you receive this Call, the likelier it is to be of interest
to you****


Folks,

The CfP below may be of interest to some of you (at least that's what I
hope). Likewise perhaps the conference it is associated with. Plus, I
understand the weather in Valencia is very acceptable in March, and the
city itself is really nice. So sharpen your pencils, dig out your
keyboards, and start writing .......

And in case of any further questions - please do ask.


Cheers,
Kai.




	
CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on 'Standardisation Management'
http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/team/kai-jakobs/ws-standardisation-
management/

20/21 March 2012
Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain
<http://www.turisvalencia.es/> 

In conjunction with the I-ESA'12 conference
(Interoperability for Enterprise Systems and Applications)
http://www.aidima.es/iesa2012/index.htm


Objective of the Workshop
-------------------------

The WS aims to address aspects relating to the management of 
standardisation. That is, it will look at managerial issues of 
corporate standardisation as well as at standards management 
in the public sector. Accordingly, the main objective is to 
contribute to the identification of best-practices in 
organisational standardisation management.

Corporate standardisation management also entails the 
selection of the most appropriate standards bodies. Thus, a 
secondary objective is to identify the criteria upon which 
this selection is based. This, in turn, will (hopefully) 
contribute to a more effective and efficient standardisation 
landscape.

Topics Covered (this is a non-exclusive list)

- approaches to corporate standardisation management in the 
  public and the private sector;
- corporate standardisation strategies;
- intra-organisational flow of information about 
  standardisation;
- the individual in standards setting - selection, training, 
  motivation;
- new ways of co-operation between standards bodies;
- potential new standardisation landscapes.


Submission Guidelines

Original (unpublished) papers not exceeding 6 pages are 
solicited. Formatting guidelines may be found at
