In this study a research model is designed that describes the effects on business performance of IS company standards facilitating processes. This model is based on a pilot case study and the small number of literature available on company standards. Subsequently, the descriptive model is used in two in-depth case studies at a large financial services corporation. The first one concerns the effects of introducing an IS product standard in a business unit and the other considers the usage of process standards in a software development department. Effects of these standards are identified, also in relation toflexibility. To conclude, implicationsforfuture research are presented.

Although theoretical analyses have dealt with the relationship between standardisation activities in formal standardisation bodies and in standards consortia, the empirical evidence is rather weak Besides various case studies, there is no broad and quantitative approach to examine the relationship between formal and informal standardisation processes. This paper quantifies the standardisation activities in information and communication technology (ICT) of formal and informal standardisation bodies by relying on the database PERINORM containing formal standards and by analysing two CEN/ISSS surveys of standardisation consortia in 2000 and 2004. The two major insights are that the technical content of activities of formal and informal standardisation bodies is rather complementary than substitutive and that there is a consolidation of consortia activities by a significant reduction of consortia not changing the distribution of activities by technicalfields.

A review of the literature shows that there is very limited empirical research into the factors that impact the adoption ofISO 10303, the Standardfor the Exchange ofProduct Data (STEP). This means that academics and practitioners devoted to the ongoing development and use of STEP, still lack a significant body of evidence with regards to the factors that influence the adoption of STEP. This paper seeks to identify factors that have impacted the adoption of STEP within the UK defence community. The analysis in this paper is based on Diffusion ofInnovation (DOI) Theory and the theory surrounding the Economics of Standards. Using a case study approach the results indicate that several DOI and economic factors have impacted the adoption of STEP. These include complexity, relative advantage, compatibility, pricing of the standard, opinion leaders and change agents, network effects, switching costs, sponsorship and innovative contracting. It is envisioned that these results will make a contribution towards understanding the factors and barriers critical to the adoption of data-exchange standards like STEP.

Public administrations have been very much concerned since the 80's about the need of avoiding vendor lock-in when procuring themselves with IT infrastructure. At that time the standards profiles helped public administrations in this respect. The boost of e-government that has taken place in recent years has put this concern again in the agenda of public administrations. Interoperability has shown up as a principle in the conception and deployment of the e-government initiatives, and the interoperability frameworks have been the tool for implementing the principle. In this paper, the main e-government initiatives are presented and their policies in the field of standards and interoperability are analysed. The focus is on the degree of commitment with open standards that each e-government agency has made explicit in its interoperability framework.

Development ofinformation and communication technologies (ICT), or more specifically information infrastructures (11s) for offering services such as, for example, wireless broadband or digital music downloading, present a complex phenomenonfor technology and policy scholars as well as practitioners. The inherent complexity involved in the infrastructural development process including the important role of standards in these structures necessitates analytical tools which can aid in understanding and exploring the infrastructures' systems and services. Traditionally, analysis of the success orfailure of II development has been done retrospectively. In this paper we propose a conceptual analytic model for the prospective exploration of IIs. Through application of the proposedframework to the analysis of two case studies, we demonstrate the usefulness and applicability of the model for the analysis of emerging Information Infrastructures. This is done by analyzing the degree of resistance of the integration of needed components within these IIs.

Standards might be presumed to be stable. But how stable are they in reality? This paper presents the findings of a quantitative analysis of standards dynamics in ISO/IEC JTCJ, the formal international standards body for IT standardization. It shows the volume of different types of change and developments over time. Certain themes are elaborated upon, such as whether there is a relationship between standards' age and areas of technology. The paper closes by drawing attention to a few maintenance policy issues, and raises several questions forfollow-up research.

A Web Service (WS) can be described as an XML-based interface that can be used by a client application to invoke a computing service distributed in a network via standard Internet protocols. In order for Web Services to become a ubiquitous technique for program to program communication, however, there need to be a solid framework in place for how Web Services that utilizes the public Internet for transport can be properly protected and secured. As the situation appears today, most Web Services are not publicly exposed but are often deployed inside a corporate, private network. This hampers the vision of Web Services that can be publicly published in directories which potential customers can search in order to find a suitable service to satisfy their need.

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control protocol that can establish, modify, and terminate multimedia sessions such as Internet telephony calls. SIP provides a registration service so that the users can upload their current locations for use by proxy servers. A finite-state machine (FSM) model for SIP registration process is presented. The complexity of the SIP registration model is increased due to the concurrent timers, namely retransmission, transaction and registration interval timers, that are running during SIP operations. This FSM model is then used to generate minimum-cost test sequencesfor conformance testing ofSIP telephones manufactured by Avaya. These test cases are planned to be presented to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Technical Committee Methods for Testing and Specification (MTS) to be adopted as complementary test cases to the existing SIP Test Suite.

The following paper analyzes the impact and dynamics of competing standards and specifications with similar technological background by the concrete example of recordable and rewritable optical media based on Digital Versatile Disc technology. Special attention is paid to the structure ofcompetitor networks as well as their strategic allocation of Intellectual Property assets and information flows in form of amount of specifications forwardedfrom consortia specifications to formal standardisation bodies. Moreover, implications concerning timing of market entry and the role of installed base in the conflict are analyzed. Finally, problems of implementation and compatibility are discussed and the concept of "multiple implementation" is introduced as a strategy of stable coexistence in standards wars.
