Subject: Call for Papers for Special Journal Issue on "Standards and Open Source Software"
Reply-To: EU FP6 FOSS NoE Discussion List <CROSSWEBS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Could you please forward the following CfP to those who may be interested? Thank you.
Call for Papers
for a Special Issue of Computer Standards & Interfaces (Elsevier) on
Cross-fertilization between Standards and Open Source Software
Guest Editors: Tineke M. Egyedi and Rishab Aiyer Ghosh
Submission deadline full papers: 1st of July 2004
Increasingly, standards and free / libre / open source software (OSS) are discussed and treated as a natural dyad by IT-policy makers and -managers. But are they? If so, in what manner and from which angle? If not, what causes the confusion?
Aim and scope
The relationship between standards and OSS is not at all self-evident. This special issue aims to explore the area of interaction at the crossroad of
both fields, an area that threatens to be overlooked in research which
specialises in either field. It wants to draw attention to several interesting issues in the area of overlap. Possible topics include but are not limited to:
· comparison between standardisation and OSS processes (commonalities and differences; their solution and limitations; etc.)
· critical analyses of projects that address both standards and OSS issues
· case studies of OSS standardisation
· interoperability and compatibility issues regarding OSS
· using OSS in/for standardisation, implementation, certification, etc.
We seek papers that reflect state-of-the-art insight and research in this field, and illustrate different viewpoints.
Important Dates
- Submission of papers: 1st of July
- Notification of acceptance/rejection: 1st of August
- Submission of final paper: 1st of September 2004
- Publication of special issue envisaged: November 2004
The schedule may be subject to revisions. Prospective authors are invited to make themselves known to the editors ahead of time to facilitate harmonization of the issue and ensure that the authors will be informed of any change.
Submission Guidelines
