Standardisation processes in IT

More about the book

"Standards have to meet the demands of their potential users to survive in the market. Particularly in the fast moving IT domain this has not always been the case. The book shows what can be done to develop good standards, which are geared to market requirements. Against common wisdom it claims that the popular call for more users on the standards committees is counter-productive. Analysis is provided to support this claim, and show what has to be done to actually produce useful IT standards." "Target Groups: Researchers and students in Computer Science and Information Systems, especially Telecommunications, Electronic Commerce; individuals associated with any of the numerous standards setting bodies, consortia or fora (i.e. ISO/ITU/ETSI/IETF/OMG/ ... committee members and work group participants); and managers in large vendor/manufactoring/service provider companies in the IT-domain."--Jacket
