Gentle Reminder: CfP: Standardisation and the Digital Society
***Apologies for cross-posting*** <br> <br> <br>Folks, <br> <br>A Very Happy New Year to all of you. <br> <br>EURAS are once again organising (a) special session(s) as part of the <br>18th Annual STS Conference Graz 2019 <br>. <br> <br>This year's focus is on 'Standardisation and the Digital Society'. <br> <br>The CfP is enclosed below; the deadline for the submission of abstracts <br>is 20 January 2020. Happy writing. <br> <br>For more information about Graz please visit <br>https://www.graztourismus.at/de. <br> <br> <br>Cheers, <br>Kai. <br> <br> <br>CALL FOR PAPERS <br> <br>Standardisation and the Digital Society <br> <br>A Session of the <br>18th Annual STS Conference, Graz 2020 <br> <br>Graz, Austria <br>4 - 6 May 2020 <br> <br> <br>Smart systems are a fairly recent phenomenon that is becoming <br>increasingly popular, not just as a research topic but also in real <br>life. Prominent examples include the Smart Grid, Smart Manufacturing, <br>Intelligent Transport Systems and Smart Cities. The 'smartness' of these <br>systems is the result of the integration of ICT into 'traditional' <br>technologies, thus providing them with advanced control and <br>communication functions previously available only in the virtual world. <br> <br>With smart systems, billions of sensors (the 'Internet of Things', IoT) <br>will collect data and transmit it for analysis. This process may lead to <br>conclusions, recommendations and, eventually, action, possibly without <br>any human intervention. In any case, the outcomes will have major <br>socio-economic, ecological and potentially ethical ramifications and <br>will directly impact citizens, businesses and society as a whole. They <br>may also have considerable legal ramifications. <br> <br>This session solicits contributions that may help explain and explore <br>the role of standards and standardisation for the ongoing digitisation <br>of society and how STS could help improve standards setting and to make <br>standards more beneficial for society. <br> <br>Topics include (but are not limited to): <br> <br>* The role of standards for the digital society. <br>* Responsible standardisation. <br>* The role and representation of societal stakeholders in smart systems <br> standardisation. <br>* Legitimacy and influence of different players in standards development. <br>* Potential ethical issues in smart systems standardisation <br>* Possible contributions of society to standards development. <br>* Social norms and their impact on standardisation. <br> <br>Abstracts should not exceed 500 words, have up to 5 keywords and provide <br>authors' contact details. They should be submitted through the <br>conference's submission system via <br>https://sts-conference.isds.tugraz.at/event/11/abstracts/ <br> <br>Abstracts and full papers (to be submitted after the conference; <br>optional) will be published as online-proceedings (ISSN). Particularly <br>good and relevant papers will be fast-tracked to the Int. Journal of <br>Standardization Research <br> <br>Further information about the conference may be found at: <br>https://sts-conference.isds.tugraz.at/event/11/ <br> <br>Important Dates <br>--------------- <br>Abstract submission deadline: 20 January 2020 <br>Notification: February 2020 <br> <br>Organisers <br>---------- <br>Henk de Vries, Erasmus University.
