CfP: Standardisation and Innovation in IT (SIIT 2017)
10th International Conference on
Standardization and Innovation in Information Technology (SIIT 2017)
25 - 27 October 2017
University of International Business and Economics (UIBE), Beijing, China
'Standards for the convergence of technologies, services, applications and regions'.
This CfP may also be found at
When the globe becomes more interconnected, by the internet, mobile
applications, cloud computing, 5G and the IoT, standards are the
mechanism of this global interconnection. When infrastructure
technologies converge to enable new fields of applications (like
e-health, the smart grid or intelligent transport systems) standards
represent the foundation upon which both infrastructure and applications
are based. And when applications and services become increasingly
international, they too incorporate scores of standards without which
they simply wouldn?t function in a global environment.
SIIT 2017 in Beijing, China, will bring together leaders from, among
others, technology, economics, social science, standardization, policy
and law to discuss and learn more about the impact of this global
convergence on standards and standardization, and vice versa.
Since 1999, SIIT conferences aim at bringing together academia,
government and industry participants engaged in standardization to
foster the exchange of insights and views on all issues surrounding
standards, standardization, interoperability and innovation.
Contributing academic disciplines include, but are not limited to:
Business Studies, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, History,
Information Systems, Law, Management Studies and Sociology.
Topics
------
All types of papers are welcome that foster our understanding of
interoperability, innovation and standards (e.g. theoretical, empirical,
case studies). Topics include, but are certainly not limited to:
* Standards to support technical convergence
* Converging regional and international standards regimes?!
* Do regional standards still have a right to exist?
* Impact of standards (e.g. on innovation, competition, convergence)
* Standardization in developing countries
* Standardization and innovation
* Standards, intellectual property rights and antitrust law
* Open standards, open source, open innovation
* Standardization policies and regulation
* Alternative interoperability strategies
* Adoption, implementation and diffusion of standards
* Standardization management and strategies
* Standards setting processes and organizations
* Economics of standards
* Standards legitimacy
* Standards education
* History of standardization
* ...
Paper Submissions
-----------------
SIIT 2017 accepts submissions which must be original (unpublished) and
follow IEEE formatting guidelines. Authors? names and affiliations
should appear on a separate cover page only, which should also identify
the type of the submission:
* Academic papers will frequently adopt a more theoretical approach and
will inform academics as well as, ideally, practitioners.
* Industry papers address relevant topics from a more practical perspective and should also help ?ground? academic research.
* Presentation papers are intended for presentation only. They will not
be published in the conference proceedings in order to allow their
publication elsewhere (relevant to certain fields of science).
Papers in the above categories should not exceed 10 pages (including figures, references, etc.).
* Poster papers should not exceed 2 pages and will typically report work in progress.
All papers 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 with the conference and present
the paper. The conference organisers reserve the right to exclude a
paper from inclusion in the proceedings and distribution after the
conference if the paper is not presented at the conference.
The paper submission guidelines will be published in due course.
We plan to make Industry/Academic papers also available through IEEE
Xplore. Their authors must comply with the IEEE policy on plagiarism
including self-plagiarism; authors of papers accepted for publication
will be asked to sign an IEEE Copyright Form. Outstanding papers will be
considered for inclusion in the International Journal on
Standardisation Research (IJSR).
