Preliminary Call for Papers
8th IEEE Conference on
Standardisation and Innovation in Information Technology
IEEE SIIT 2013
www.ieee-siit.org
24 - 26 September 2013
European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)
Sophia-Antipolis, France
Sponsored by: IEEE Standards Association
Standardisation research is a multi-disciplinary field. Contributing
disciplines include, but are by no means limited to, Business Studies,
Computer Science, Economics, Information Systems, Management Studies,
History, and Social Sciences. While standards and standardisation
research is an emerging research area it is of considerable interest and
relevance to a large non-academic constituency that includes
practitioners from industry, policy makers, users and consumer
communities and, last but not least, to those active in or working for,
standards setting organisations.
Accordingly, the SIIT conferences aim at bringing together
representatives of these communities to foster the exchange of insights
and views on all issues surrounding ICT standards and standardisation.
Topics
------
Theoretical and empirical papers as well as case studies are welcome
that shed some light on IT standards, standardisation, and innovation.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
* standardisation and innovation
* impact of standards
* implementation and diffusion of standards
* standardisation policies and regulation
* competing regional and international regimes
* standards and developing countries
* intellectual property rights and antitrust law
* standards setting processes and organisations
* standards cultures
* standards education
* history of standardisation
* corporate standards strategies
* Open Source and standards
* technology convergence
* alternative compatibility strategies and interoperability

Paper Submissions
-----------------
Original (unpublished) papers not exceeding 6,000 words are solicited.
They will undergo a double blind peer-review process. Authors may submit
more than one paper, but each participant will only be allowed to
present one paper during the conference. Accepted papers will be
included in the conference proceedings, and are planned to be available
through IEEE Xplore. Accordingly, the authors must comply with the IEEE
policy on copyright and plagiarism including self-plagiarism. Authors of
accepted papers will also be asked to sign an IEEE Copyright Form.
Outstanding papers will be considered for inclusion in the International
Journal on IT Standards and Standardization Research (JITSR).
Submissions (in .pdf or .rtf format) should be sent to <to be announced>.
Travel Grants
-------------
We expect to be able to offer travel grants for students and for
attendees from developing countries. Those who are interested should
send an e-mail message to <to be announced>.
