Inhaltsangabe

This book includes a collection of 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.

• 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.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Modern Standardization covers up-to-date issues related to ethics, policies, and business strategies in standards developments using a collection of IEEE Standards-specific case studies

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.

The book enhances engineering students' education by…

• Providing students with an understanding of the interplay of the three fundamental dynamics of standards -- technology, economics, and politics
• Encouraging students to think critically about standards development and technology solutions
• Reinforcing the usage of standards as an impetus for innovation

Using this resource tool, academics and students will learn how standards experts and SDO working group leaders and members establish the policies, procedures, and guidelines that help ensure the integrity of the standards development process.

In addition to several highly focused case studies, the book features an extensive chapter on standard essential patents -- the sharing of intellectual property (IP) that contain underlying technologies that are essential to producing a final, publishable standard. With companies trying to get as much of their IP into a standard as possible, this is one of the most critical and contentious issues in developing technical standards today. The final section of the book, "International SDOs Defined" identifies more than 20 major global SDOs, details their history, areas of interest in standards development, and their relationship with other SDOs.
