Why work in standards? Understand risks associated Save money and avoid wasted R&D with standards Innovate Build credibility with customers Control evolution of market Be seen as a leader “Open the box” In summary: Create a more favourable environment in which to do business IST 4 BALT, 7 April 2006, Riga, Latvia 8

Impact of Standardization q Load sharing / Cost saving q Creation of a critical mass q Bringing economy of scale q Close co-operation of competitors q Greater interoperability q Increased customer choice STANDARDIZATION > INNOVATION IST 4 BALT, 7 April 2006, Riga, Latvia 9

Dialogue on Standardization q To match: Ø the exciting potential of innovative research with Ø the business need for standardisation and interoperability of products and services q To bring together: Ø the broad ETSI membership, which consists of today's innovators and Ø the academic research community, the thought leaders of the future q To ensure: Ø the regulated and synchronized impact of the technology in the industry groups markets Ø worldwide deployment of interoperable solutions Ø quality of standards IST 4 BALT, 7 April 2006, Riga, Latvia 10

COPRAS Cooperation Platform for Research & Standards q COPRAS aim at improving the interface between standardisation & IST research q An opportunity to coordinate ICT research and standardization efforts, also in the area of e. Safety of road & air transport and ITS q Survey projects for standards related output q Analyse feedback & select projects to define Standardisation Action Plans with q Install mechanisms & tools for cooperation between research and standardisation, also across different areas q Arrange input from research projects into standardisation processes and promote new work items resulting from research project’s output q Ensure relevant input from standards bodies to research projects IST 4 BALT, 7 April 2006, Riga, Latvia 14

COPRAS’ roots lie with European standardisation bodies & the ICTSB ERTICO Radicchio CEN W 3 C CENELEC The Open ETSI Group EBU ATM Forum ECMA International Tele. Management Forum Internet Society EICTA ECBS OASIS DVB OMG Industry Groups Standards bodies Collaborative group of organisations concerned with standardization and related activities in ICT COPRAS was initiated by the 3 European Standards Organisations together with W 3 C and The Open Group, but backed by the ICTSB IST 4 BALT, 7 April 2006, Riga, Latvia 15

Background and objectives behind the COPRAS project q Interfacing with standardisation is required for research projects under Framework Programmes q Standardisation activities are many times already underway with respect to many aspects in IST q Structuring cooperation will reduce overlap and save resources on the side of research projects q Cooperation at an early stage will make research results available earlier to industry & society Standardization processes Technical developments Half Start Requirements analysis way Tests & pilots End ‘Standardization gap’ R&D project duration IST 4 BALT, 7 April 2006, Riga, Latvia 16

Standardization and research should ideally proceed in parallel but… research projects… and Standards bodies q Don’t start thinking about standardization until they are in the final stages of their activities q Don’t always have mechanisms for addressing projects’ output q Discover they don’t have sufficient resources and time to pass their output through standardization q Don’t have the means to continue the path through standardization after completing their activities q Are scattered and don’t provide a ‘guichet unique’ where standards and standards bodies can be addressed q Are missing out on valuable contributions to ongoing standardization processes IST 4 BALT, 7 April 2006, Riga, Latvia 17

Generic Guidelines q Generic Guidelines address future projects’ interface to standardization q “Generic Guidelines for IST projects interfacing with ICT standards organizations” includes information about Ø What are the benefits from interfacing with standardization Ø How to determine whether your project should plan to interface with standardization Ø How to build standardization efforts into your work plan Ø Most common processes & deliverables in standardization Ø Criteria to apply for selecting standards bodies matching projects’ objectives q Guidelines: www. w 3. org/2004/copras/docu/generic-guidelines. pdf q Guidelines brochure: www. w 3. org/2004/copras/docu/D 20. pdf IST 4 BALT, 7 April 2006, Riga, Latvia 18

ETSI fosters close collaboration with the research & education communities Whereas: q Globalisation confronts development research and education with new challenges, reflected at a later stage in standardization initiatives ETSI recognizes: q The enthusiasm of the research and education looking towards the future and identifying new work q The role of research in developing future ICT standards q The need to strategically co-ordinate and integrate common areas of interest by means of joint projects q The importance of expertise sharing q R&D Projects contribute to the work in the Technical Committees, mainly through ETSI members participating in these projects IST 4 BALT, 7 April 2006, Riga, Latvia 19
