Hello,
You've still got two more weeks to submit something for SIIT 2001......
Have a nice weekend, and cheers, Kai.
CALL FOR PAPERS
2001 IEEE Conference on Standardization and Innovation in Information Technology
University of Colorado Boulder, CO, USA
October 3-5, 2001
CONFERENCE THEME:
STANDARDIZATION and INNOVATION are fundamental processes in our technological and increasingly global civilization, sometimes operating in tension and sometimes in concert with each other. The complex interplay between these two processes is still not well understood, in spite of being linked to nearly every facet of our economy, society, culture, and physical environment. In recognition of the crucial importance of improving our understanding of these processes and of their interrelationship, the SIIT International Conference was initiated in 1999 to bring together technology developers, industry leaders and scientific researchers, from government, commerce and academia.
SIIT 2001 will provide an open international forum to consider all aspects of Standardization and Innovation. Users, manufacturers, service providers, researchers, governmental agencies and educators involved with theoretical and applied studies of information technology, telecommunications, social sciences, law and humanities are invited to contribute significant original papers. Contributions will include those involving disciplines of economics, business, engineering, management, political science, public policy, regulation, sociology, philosophy, communication, and human factors/usability.
By promoting applied and theoretical studies of the interdisciplinary nature of standardization and innovation, the SIIT conferences provide a novel forum for the formulation and resolution of questions vital to 21st century global economic and social growth. The conference format offers a unique opportunity to gather a broad variety of practitioners, providers and thinkers from around the world and to facilitate insights on an array of relevant, interconnected and timely issues and topics.
Papers that address issues and topics relating to standards, standardization and innovation are invited. Possible topics may include, but are not limited to the following:
- Technological innovation and standardization - Development of information infrastructure - Standardization, innovation and economic development - Open Source, innovation and standardization - Intellectual property rights, standardization and innovation - Economics of innovation and standardization - Emerging roles of formal standards organizations and consortia - Emerging roles of conformity assessment - National, regional, international and corporate standards strategies - Standardization and regulation - Standardization as a form of the Public Sphere - Standardization and public policy formation - Analyses of standards setting processes, products, and organization - Case studies of standardization and innovation - Impacts of market-driven standardization and emerging players - The future of standardization and innovation - Multinational and transnational perspectives and impacts - Commercial value of proprietary specifications - Descriptive & prescriptive theories of standardization and innovation - Standards research and education activities - Tools and services supporting improved standardization and innovation
IMPORTANT DATES 31 March 2001-Deadline for paper submissions 30 June 2001-Notification of authors 30 August 2001-Deadline for final (camera-ready) papers
PAPER REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE Significant, original submissions will be considered through a blind review process. Acceptance will be based solely on merit and relevance.
