CALL FOR PAPERS
Technical Standardisation and STS
=================================
Part of the
17th Annual STS Conference Graz on
Critical Issues in Science, Technology and Society Studies
7 - 8 May 2018; Graz, Austria
Scholars and policy makers are increasingly interested in standards development and its role in science and technology. Indeed, technical standards may accelerate science (and vice versa), facilitate technology development and in a broader sense, shape functioning of the society. For example, common measurement methods are key for scientific experiments. International communication standards are the basis of the complex communications systems we have today. Safety and environmental standards assure that minimum requirements for the health and safety of users and society are observed.
Standards frequently result from science and technical development and form the basis for future waves of innovation. The interplay of standards and standardisation with science and technology is important but remains largely unexplored. Accordingly, the session 'Technical Standardisation and STS' solicits contributions aiming to explain and explore the role of standards and standardisation for Science, Technology and Society and how STS could contribute to standards setting.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
The nature of the relationship between standardisation and STS.
Contributions of science to standards development.
Standardisation of Smart Applications (Smart Grid, Industry 4.0,
Smart Cities, etc.).
(When) do standards and standardisation hamper development in
science and technology?
Stakeholder representation in standardisation.
Legitimacy and influence of different players on standards development.
Standards and technology assessment.
Role of industry and their associations (especially SMEs) in standardisation.
Emergence of social norms in society and their impact on science
and technology.
Ethical issues in standardisation.
Abstracts should not exceed 500 words, have up to 5 keywords and provide authors' contact details. They should be submitted through the conference's submission system via
https://conference.aau.at/event/143/call-for-abstracts/
Abstracts and full papers (to be submitted after the conference; optional) will be published as online-proceedings (ISSN). Particularly good and relevant papers will be fast-tracked to the Int. Journal of Standardization Research
