***With apologies for cross-posting*** <br> <br> <br>Folks, <br> <br>Enclosed below you will find the First CfP for next year's EURAS <br>conference. It will be held on 10 – 12 June 2020, in Glasgow, Scotland. <br>The submission deadline is 15 February, so you've got ample time to <br>write that groundbreaking paper ...... <br> <br> <br>Hope to see you in Glasgow then ...... <br> <br>Cheers. <br>Kai. <br> <br> <br> <br>First CALL FOR PAPERS <br> <br>25th EURAS Annual Standardisation Conference <br>- Standards for Digital Transformation: Blockchain and Innovation - <br> <br>10 - 12 June 2020 <br>Glasgow, Scotland <br> <br> <br>Organised by <br>The European Academy for Standardisation (EURAS) <br>Adam Smith Business School, The University of Glasgow, UK <br> <br>Hosted by <br>Adam Smith Business School, The University of Glasgow, UK <br> <br> <br> <br>Blockchain has received mounting attention across the globe as an <br>innovative method of reaching decentralised consensus using digital <br>systems. This technology is believed to be able to transform a variety <br>of industries by reshaping the way to conduct trusted, yet anonymous <br>transactions and to ensure the irreversibility of records. It thus also <br>enables digital currencies (e.g. bitcoins) as a distributed ledger for <br>transactions. The financial sector has already shown considerable <br>interest in the development and application of this technology. Many <br>public and private entities are also deliberating how to realise the <br>potential of this technology within their respective sector. However, <br>Blockchain must still be considered a nascent technology and, <br>accordingly, numerous open problems remain. One of the main challenges <br>is the development of common standards for interoperability among <br>different Blockchain systems. Today, a number of organisations have <br>launched standardisation projects (e.g. ISO and IEEE) or are working on <br>Open Source implementations (e.g. R3 and Hyperledger). The issues to be <br>associated with the development of common standards and specifications <br>go beyond the mere technical challenges. They also require the alignment <br>of diverse stakeholders' interests and the collaborative design of core <br>principles and practices. <br> <br>Against this background, EURAS 2020 solicits papers on the above theme. <br>However, papers on other standardisation topics will also be considered. <br>Sample topics include, but are not limited to: <br> <br>* Standards and platforms. <br>* Standards and patents. <br>* Standards as innovation policy tools. <br>* Standardisation roadmaps. <br>* Standardisation of converging technologies. <br>* Standards and digitalisation. <br>* Standardisation for knowledge management <br>* Standardisation and Europe's research and innovation agenda. <br>* Standardisation and open source. <br>* Standards and technical barriers to trade. <br>* Standards and the transformation of organizations. <br>* Adoption/implementation of standards. <br>* Standards for sustainability. <br>* Standardisation and entrepreneurship. <br>* The impacts of standards and standardisation. <br>* Standardisation strategy and strategic alliances. <br>* Standardisation via industry consortia. <br>* History of standardisation. <br>* Standardisation processes. <br>* Standards and knowledge transfer. <br>* Relation between standardisation and legislation. <br>* Legal aspects of standardisation. <br>* Competition and compatibility among standards. <br>* Quality of standards. <br>* Role of industry and their associations in standardisation. <br> <br> <br>Submissions <br>----------- <br> <br>Full papers (up to 30 double-spaced pages; rtf. .doc or .docx format) <br>should be submitted to: <br>Kai Jakobs at Kai.Jakobs@cs.rwth-aachen.de. <br> <br>All papers will be double blind reviewed by members of the Technical <br>Programme Committee. All accepted papers will be published in the <br>conference proceedings, as part of the 'EURAS Contributions to <br>Standardisation Research' book series. Particularly good and relevant <br>papers will be fast-tracked to a Special Issue of the International <br>Journal on Standardization Research on 'Standards for Digital <br>Transformation'. <br> <br> <br>Deadlines <br>--------- <br> <br>Paper submission: 15 February 2020 <br>Notification: 22 March 2020 <br>Final paper due: 05 April 2020 <br> <br> <br>Local Organisation and Enquiries <br>-------------------------------- <br> <br>Please send any enquiries regarding the local organisation to <br>Dong-Hyu Kim . <br> <br>Please direct all other enquiries to Kai Jakobs at <br>Kai.Jakobs@cs.rwth-aachen.de <br> <br>For more information about EURAS please visit http://www.euras.org. <br> <br> <br>Conference Venue <br>---------------- <br> <br>Main Building Lecture Theatre 206, Level 2 <br>Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow – University Avenue, <br>Glasgow, UK (https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/business) <br> <br> <br>Technical Programme Committee <br>----------------------------- <br> <br>Martin Adolph, ITU, CH <br>Marie Barani, UK <br>Knut Blind, TU Berlin, DE <br>Francesco Bolici, U.
