Standardisation---opportunity or constraint? (panel session)

1995, Proceedings of the 22nd annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques - SIGGRAPH '95

AI-generated Abstract

The panel session explores the evolving landscape of standardization in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), highlighting both the opportunities and constraints associated with ISO and other formal standards. Key discussions focus on historical failures in standardization, the pressures exerted by industry and politics, and the competition between de jure and de facto standards. Insights are drawn from various examples and the role of panelists as practitioners within the standardization process.
