This document provides a summary of Industry Specification Groups (ISGs) at ETSI:
1) ISGs are special committees at ETSI focused on quick establishment to develop specifications. They have their own membership and budget.
2) Over 120 members from 90 ETSI members have signed agreements to participate across 12 existing ISGs. ISGs have produced 16 specifications and have 21 ongoing projects.
3) ISGs decide their own work programs and approve specifications independently but must follow ETSI processes. ETSI provides basic administrative and document hosting support to ISGs.

The document discusses how arts education benefits learning in several ways:
1) Schools that spend over 25% of time on arts see dramatic academic gains and improved behavior.
2) The arts engage the whole brain and allow for learning through multiple senses and perspectives.
3) Arts education develops skills like creativity, problem solving, and focus that transfer to other subjects.
4) The arts can reach more types of students by appealing to different intelligences and ways of learning.

The OSGi Alliance is working to expand adoption of the technology in mobile devices and services.
To meet customer needs and provide valuable services, it is important to maintain a high quality of service, which requires a well-structured approach to how the service is managed. Existing approaches to formal IT Service Management (ITSM), such as ITIL and the ISO/IEC 20000 standard are useful but not always well suited to the challenges of providing distributed services, especially federated environments, and can often be seen as overly complex. This one hour webinar will provide a clear-cut view of how service management, and the lightweight approach provided by the FitSM standard, is suitable for distributed, federated and research services. FitSM provides requirements based on international standards and commercial best-practice, as well as concrete support in terms of templates, guides and tools useful in implementing ITSM and offers a certification training programme. This webinar will have a large discussion element of how FitSM applies to research infrastructures, including how the principles and lessons learned could apply to research infrastructures that provide services requiring physical access.
The webinar will be presented by both a contributing author of FitSM as well as a representative of a European federated service provider implementing the standard, EGI. You should attend if you have any involvement in the delivery of an IT service, no matter your organisational type, commercial or academic, though the discussion will focus on the context of research infrastructures.

It outlines a methodology for evaluating IoT platforms that considers functional, technical, team, ecosystem, and adjacent service criteria. The selection process involves discovery workshops, a request for information, a request for proposal, vendor evaluation, and a recommendation. OIES helps customers identify their needs and requirements, evaluate various platform options, and choose the optimal platform to meet their objectives.
The OIF fosters development and adoption of interoperable optical networking technologies. It brings together industry groups to work on challenges like managing network complexity while supporting innovation, standards, and collaboration. The OIF identifies technology gaps, selects best ideas for projects, drafts implementation agreements, and conducts interoperability demonstrations to prove concepts and contribute to standards. It is organized into committees, working groups, and a board that oversee technical work, interoperability testing, and publication of specifications.
This document summarizes a webinar about an interoperability experiment (IE) testing the integration of Shibboleth single sign-on and OGC web services. The IE involved several organizations demonstrating that their OGC client software could access protected WMS and WFS through a Shibboleth federation. The goal was to show clients from different organizations successfully authenticating and accessing map and feature services across administrative boundaries without changes to OGC specifications or Shibboleth. The webinar demonstrated examples of desktop and browser-based clients accessing services after single sign-on.

Service management board (SMB), Service providers’ forum (SPF)EOSC-hub project
The document discusses communications requirements and logistics for coordinating service providers in EOSC-hub. It proposes establishing a Service Provider Forum and Service Management Board to facilitate scalable communication with the potentially large number of service providers. The SPF would be open to all providers while the SMB would focus on high participation providers. Meetings would be virtual to reduce demands on time. Harmonization of policies and practices across services is also discussed to provide consistent user experiences despite heterogeneous backgrounds.
The document summarizes the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). It discusses the first phase of EOSC from 2018-2020 which is addressing six roadmap action lines through various H2020 projects. The second phase beginning in 2020 is dependent on an evaluation of the first phase. Current EOSC governance is working to steer initial implementation and transition to the second stage. Several working groups have been established to work on key outputs around rules of participation, landscape and sustainability analysis, architecture, and FAIR data principles. The transition to the second phase will require addressing issues around governance, funding, and establishing a core infrastructure.
Ultan mulligan - Future Network Standardisation at ETSIFIA2010
ETSI is involved in standardizing future network technologies through Industry Specification Groups and sector-specific committees. Three initial ISGs focus on autonomic networking, identity and access management, and IP traffic measurement. ETSI cooperates with other standards bodies and supports large-scale projects applying future network architectures in areas like eHealth, machine-to-machine communications, smart grids, and intelligent transport systems. A workshop on future network technologies highlighted diverging views on network virtualization architectures and the need for early standardization in some areas. Successful standardization requires engaging the right partners and standards bodies at the right time, while balancing research and development with standardization timelines and processes.
This document provides an overview of an IT4IT presentation by Tony Price and John McDermott from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The presentation introduces IT4IT, an open standard for managing the business of IT developed by The Open Group. IT4IT addresses the need for an industry-agnostic reference architecture for managing the IT value chain. The presentation describes the benefits of IT4IT and how Hewlett Packard Enterprise supports IT4IT through products, services and certification programs.

5. “Hidden” Benefits of Standardization
Standardization contributes to consumer confidence
Products are commercialized faster
Products reach global markets
Standardization does not require full manufacturing
Standardization does not distribute forces at the expense of
SMEs or research centers
Standardization exploits research results
Standardization ensures interoperability
Standardization lowers the burden of evolution and
maintenance, supported by industry
Standardization improves technologies and products through
multiple feed-back
5
6. Research Input to Standards
ICT markets are shaped by standards
• de facto, industry, fora, SDOs
European strength in collaborative R&D
