Deadline approaching - EURAS 2020
***With apologies for cross-posting*** <br> <br> <br>Call for Papers <br> <br>*25th EURAS Annual Standardisation Conference** <br>**- Standards for Digital Transformation: Blockchain and Innovation -* <br> <br> <br>10 - 12 June 2020 <br> <br>Glasgow, Scotland <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 as an innovative method of <br>reaching decentralised consensus using digital systems. This technology <br>is believed to be able to transform a variety of industries by reshaping <br>the way to conduct trusted, yet anonymous transactions and to ensure the <br>irreversibility of records. It is little surprise that the financial <br>sector has already shown considerable interest in the application of <br>this technology. Likewise, applications in many other sectors like <br>health care, energy and logistics have been envisaged. Closer to home, <br>Blockchain applications have been discussed for legal metrology as well <br>as for standards setting. On the other hand, certain content may render <br>the mere possession of a Blockchain illegal. <br> <br>Blockchain is an emerging technology and its standardisation is still at <br>an early stage. However, numerous standards bodies have become active in <br>the field. Likewise, Open Source implementations are under development. <br>Considering the disruptive nature of Blockchain technology, issues to be <br>associated with the development of common standards and specifications <br>go way beyond the mere technical challenges. They also require the <br>alignment of diverse stakeholders' interests and the collaborative <br>design of core 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>Submission <br>--------------- <br>Full papers (up to 30 double-spaced pages; rtf. .doc or .docx format) <br>should be submitted to: <br>Kai Jakobs at mailto: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>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>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>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>Martin Adolph, ITU, CH <br>Marie Barani, UK <br>Knut Blind, TU Berlin, DE <br>Nils Brunsson, Uppsala U., SE <br>Sara Candy, BSI, UK <br>Pavel Castka, U.
