Contributing<br>disciplines include, but are by no means limited to, Business Studies,<br>Computer Science, Economics, Information Systems, Management Studies,<br>History and Social Sciences. While standards and standardisation<br>research is an emerging research area it is of considerable interest and<br>relevance to a large non-academic constituency that includes<br>practitioners from industry, policy makers, users and consumer<br>communities and, last but not least, to those active in or working for,<br>standards setting
organisations.<br><br>Accordingly, the SIIT conferences aim at bringing together<br>representatives of these communities to foster the exchange of insights<br>and views on all issues surrounding ICT standards and standardisation.<br><br><br>Topics<br><br>Theoretical and empirical papers as well as case studies are welcome<br>that shed some light on IT standards, standardisation, and innovation.<br>Possible topics include, but are not limited to:<br>* standardisation and innovation<br>* impact of standards<br>* implementation and diffusion of standards<br>* standardisation policies and regulation<br>* competing regional and international regimes<br>* standards and developing countries<br>* e-Government standards<br>* intellectual property rights and antitrust law<br>* standards setting processes and organisations<br>* standards cultures<br>* standards education<br>* history of standardisation<br>* corporate standards strategies<br>* alternative
compatibility strategies and interoperability<br><br><br>Important Dates<br><br>Submissions due: 15 April 2011<br>Notification of acceptance: 1 July 2011<br>Final paper due: 19 August 2011<br><span>All information about the conference will be announced at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.SIIT2011.org">www.SIIT2011.org</a></span><br><br><br>Paper Submissions<br><br>Original (unpublished) papers not exceeding 6,000 words are solicited.<br>They will undergo a double blind peer-review process. Authors may submit<br>more than one paper, but each participant will only be allowed to<br>present one paper during the conference. Accepted papers will be<br>included in the conference proceedings, and are planned to be available<br>through IEEE Xplore. Accordingly, the authors must comply with the IEEE<br>policy on copyright and plagiarism
including self-plagiarism. Authors of<br>accepted papers will also be asked to sign an IEEE Copyright Form.<br>Outstanding papers will be considered for inclusion in the International<br>Journal on IT Standards and Standardization Research (JITSR).<br><br>Submissions should be sent in .pdf or .rtf format to <a ymailto="mailto:r.n.a.bekkers@tue.nl" href="mailto:r.n.a.bekkers@tue.nl">r.n.a.bekkers@tue.nl</a><br><br><br>Travel Grants<br><br>We expect to be able to offer travel grants for students and for<br>attendees from developing countries.
