Call for Papers
3rd Workshop on 'Standardisation Management'
29/30 March 2016
In conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Interoperability for Enterprise Systems and Applications
University of Minho, Guimaraes, Portugal
www.i-esa.org/
Objective of the Workshop
-------------------------
The WS aims to address aspects relating to the management of standardisation. That is, it will look at managerial issues of corporate standardisation as well as at standards management in the public sector. Accordingly, the main objective is to contribute to the identification of best-practices in organisational standardisation management.
Corporate standardisation management also entails the selection of the most appropriate standards bodies. Thus, a secondary objective is to identify the criteria upon which this selection is based. This, in turn, will (hopefully) contribute to a more effective and efficient standardisation landscape.
Topics Covered (this is a non-exclusive list)
* approaches to corporate standardisation management in the public and the private sector;
* corporate standardisation strategies;
* success stories in standardisation management;
* intra-organisational flow of information about standardisation;
* the individual in standards setting - selection, training, motivation;
* new ways of co-operation between standards bodies;
* potential new standardisation landscapes.
