Modern Standardization : Case Studies at the Crossroads of Technology, Economics, and Politics

This book includes a collection of IEEE Standards-specific case studies. The case studies offer an opportunity to combine the teaching preferences of educators with the goals of the SEC (Standards Education Committee); providing students with “real-world” insight into the technical, political, and economic arenas of engineering. This book is a must read for anyone learning about IEEE Standards. Encourages students to think critically about standards development and technology solutions Reinforces the usage of standards as an impetus for innovation Will help understand the dynamics and impacts of standards A curriculum guide is available to instructors who have adopted the book for a course. To obtain the guide, please send a request to: ieeeproposals@wiley.com. Modern Standardization -- Case Studies at the Crossroads of Technology, Economics, and Politics covers the development of new technical standards, how these standards are typically triggered, and how they are submitted to standards development organizations (SDOs) for review and evaluation. It fills the gap in the shortage of reference material in the development of real-world standards. The increasing pace of innovation in technology has accelerated the competitive nature of standardization, particularly in emerging markets. Modern Standardization addresses these and other issues through a series of case studies in a format designed for academics and their engineering, business, and law school students."-- Provided by publisher Modern Standardization; Contents; Introduction; About This Book; The Push for Open Standards; Enter Openstand; The Internet and Its Impact on Standards; Where Does All This Leave Sdos?; Rolling Out IPv6; Standards and Trade; Consortia-Chaos and Compromise; Case Study Topics in This Book; 1 Smart Grid Takes on Critical Standards Challenges; A System-Of-Systems; Jump Starting the Smart Grid; The Standards Priority; Strictly Business; United States Has a Running Start; Smart Meter Concerns; IEEE and the Smart Grid; Catalog of Standards; Timing is Everything; Europes Interconnected Grid This book includes a collection of standards-specific case studies.
