First CALL FOR PAPERS
25th EURAS Annual Standardisation Conference
- Standards for Digital Transformation: Blockchain and Innovation -
10 - 12 June 2020
Glasgow, Scotland
Organised by
The European Academy for Standardisation (EURAS)
Adam Smith Business School, The University of Glasgow, UK
Hosted by
Adam Smith Business School, The University of Glasgow, UK
Blockchain has received mounting attention across the globe as an
innovative method of reaching decentralised consensus using digital
systems. This technology is believed to be able to transform a variety
of industries by reshaping the way to conduct trusted, yet anonymous
transactions and to ensure the irreversibility of records. It thus also
enables digital currencies (e.g. bitcoins) as a distributed ledger for
transactions. The financial sector has already shown considerable
interest in the development and application of this technology. Many
public and private entities are also deliberating how to realise the
potential of this technology within their respective sector. However,
Blockchain must still be considered a nascent technology and,
accordingly, numerous open problems remain. One of the main challenges
is the development of common standards for interoperability among
different Blockchain systems. Today, a number of organisations have
launched standardisation projects (e.g. ISO and IEEE) or are working on
Open Source implementations (e.g. R3 and Hyperledger). The issues to be
associated with the development of common standards and specifications
go beyond the mere technical challenges. They also require the alignment
of diverse stakeholders' interests and the collaborative design of core
principles and practices.
Against this background, EURAS 2020 solicits papers on the above theme.
However, papers on other standardisation topics will also be considered.
Sample topics include, but are not limited to:
Standards and platforms.
Standards and patents.
Standards as innovation policy tools.
Standardisation roadmaps.
Standardisation of converging technologies.
Standards and digitalisation.
Standardisation for knowledge management
Standardisation and Europe's research and innovation agenda.
Standardisation and open source.
Standards and technical barriers to trade.
Standards and the transformation of organizations.
Adoption/implementation of standards.
Standards for sustainability.
Standardisation and entrepreneurship.
The impacts of standards and standardisation.
Standardisation strategy and strategic alliances.
Standardisation via industry consortia.
History of standardisation.
Standardisation processes.
Standards and knowledge transfer.
Relation between standardisation and legislation.
Legal aspects of standardisation.
Competition and compatibility among standards.
Quality of standards.
* Role of industry and their associations in standardisation.
