课程名称：标准化与技术 课程概述：欢迎来到《标准化与技术》课程！你是否对标准有过思考？设想一个没有标准的世界是多么困难，而标准在我们社会中的重要性往往被低估。标准在我们的日常生活中无处不在，甚至我们可能未曾意识到它们的存在。 在课程中，我们将探讨许多鲜为人知的标准世界。我们首先回顾历史，发现早在公元前，标准就已经存在。随着社会的发展，标准也在不断演变，我们需要讨论标准和标准制定的基本原理。 在当今技术迅速发展的时代，标准的作用愈发重要。你是否想过手机内部的运作？没有技术协议和标准，我们如何能成功构建如此庞大的互联网？我们将研究制定及维护这些标准的组织，并简要展望这一不断演变领域的未来。 每周将提供视频讲座和相应的阅读材料，以帮助你准备每周的评估考试。 祝好运，我们希望你能够享受这门课程！ 课程大纲： 1. 引言：了解标准的历史及其在信息时代的演变，探索良好标准在社会中的重要性。 2. 历史：追溯标准的历史，认识时间和时区等基本标准的意义，并讨论其他历史例子。 3. 基础知识：了解标准的定义，参与标准制定的各方以及标准的发展过程。 4. 标准制定组织：详细了解标准组织的性质、职责以及运作方式。 5. 联盟：讨论技术进步如何加速标准的发展，了解行业如何通过联盟应对标准滞后。 6. 标准的未来使用和角色：探索当今标准化面临的挑战和伦理问题，尤其在智能移动、人工智能和机器学习等领域中。
Name:Introduction
Description:Welcome to the course Standardisation and Technology. First we will go through history and find that standards have always been part of human society. Even if you maybe had not realised it yet. But the world has since developed into the current information age. And standards had to develop accordingly. We will discuss the fundamentals, the organisations that draft, oversee and exercise standards ánd the societal necessity and dependance on good standards. Already have a look at the reading materials you will be using throughout the course. We hope you join and enjoy the course and realise what an impact standards have on our (and your) day-to-day life!
Name:History
Description:How many decades can we go back to still see standards used by humans? Or maybe go back even more, how many ages or how many millennia? Before we dive into this: Have you ever thought about how you knew how far back a decade is? Right, time is indeed a prime example of standardisation, even moreso our time zones. But there are many more examples, let us discuss a few. Can you think of any other historic examples of standards?
Name:Fundamentals
Description:Now that you have become acquainted with standards throughout history, it is important to recognize what defines a standard. We will walk you through the fundamentals of standardisation, the different parties that are involved in the development. The parties that require standards, the parties that impose regulations. Altogether the development process takes a lot of consideration and in this modules we aim to shine light on the basics to good standards.
Name:Standards Developing Organisations
Description:According to the free internet encyclopedia: "A standards organisation, standards body, standards developing organisation (SDO), or standards setting organisation (SSO) is an organisation whose primary activities are developing, coordinating, promulgating, revising, amending, reissuing, interpreting, or otherwise producing technical standards that are intended to address the needs of a group of affected adopters." So SDOs essentially do 'everything' with regard to standardisation? We will show you exactly what SDOs do and more importantly how different SDOs operate in this module.
Name:Consortia
Description:What happens when technological progress severely outpaces the development of new standards by the SDOs? New products need new guidelines or standards to abide to, but if there are no suitable standards technological process is hindered. Around the 1980s, the technological advancement was too quick for the (alleged) bureacratic & sluggish SDOs. In response the industry started consortia to fill this lack of standards and start developing themselves. Find out more and also get acquainted with some of the most recognised consortia!
Name:Future use and role of standards
Description:Finally we arrive at the crossroads of present day standardisation. Since the 1980s technological advancement has not slowed down. Moreover, technology that was previously thought impossible is already right around the corner. Areas like smart mobility, articifical intelligence and machine learning not only require standards to function but also to remain within ethical boundaries. How should, or even can, we define ethics in standards and what about privacy? Technology tends to infringe on this human right more and more. Can we rely on standards alone to set the stage? Form your opinion and learn more about the intricacies between these two subjects.
Welcome to the course standardisation and technology! Do you already know what standards are? Could you image a world without standards? It is certainly not easy to visualize a world without standards and the huge importance of standards is often underestimated in our society. That is because such a vast amount are common to us and have been for ages. We don’t even realise they are standards anymore. We are excited to see you join and explore the world of standards that goes unnoticed by so many! First we visit historic examples of standards and see that even Before Christ standards were ever present. But since then standards have grown and evolved alongside societies and we need to discuss the fundamentals of standards and standard setting. Nowadays technology is rapidly advancing and standards play an ever increasing role. Have you ever wondered what happens under the hood of your mobile phone? How are we able to orchestrate something so huge as the internet without technical agreements and protocols, without standards? We take a look at the organisations that develop and maintain these standards and even take a brief glimpse in the future of this ever evolving field! Each week video lectures and reading material according to the bibliography in in the introduction will be provided. Practice tests will help you to prepare for the graded assessment at the end of each week. Good luck and we hope you enjoy the course!
