Evidence from the Performance of Firms engaged in Standardization The Journal of Technology Transfer 2022 9 12 Theoretical models suggest that standardisation activities in the market may be too high or too low with respect to the market optimum. This paper investigates the association of standardisation engagement with firms'performance as indirect evidence of a sub-optimal level of market standardisation activities. Anecdotal evidence has it that firms can benefit from engagement in standardisation activities, but large quantitative studies on this topic are rather scarce. Based on a large innovation survey, this paper implements matching models to compare outcomes of firms with similar features but different standardisation activities. The outcomes of interest are several measures of innovation and growth. Standardisers and non-standardisers are matched onto a rich set of control variables. Firms engaged in standardisation have better innovation performance than firms with no such activities. However, the results for the performance measures are rather mixed, showing no association or negative association with labour productivity measures. Heteroscedasticity-based instruments mitigate possible endogeneity issues. These results can be interpreted as indirect evidence of low standardisation activity in the market, possibly due to long payback periods and appropriability issues of the standardisation investment. 10.1007/s10961-022-09951-z 1 Cesare Antonio FabioRiillo KaiJakobs article 2022_brauner_iop A Computer Science Perspective on Digital Transformation in Production ACM Transactions on Internet of Things 2022 5 1 3 2 The Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) promises significant improvements for the manufacturing industry by facilitating the integration of manufacturing systems by Digital Twins. However, ecological and economic demands also require a cross-domain linkage of multiple scientific perspectives from material sciences, engineering, operations, business, and ergonomics, as optimization opportunities can be derived from any of these perspectives. To extend the IIoT to a true Internet of Production, two concepts are required: first, a complex, interrelated network of Digital Shadows which combine domain-specific models with data-driven AI methods; and second, the integration of a large number of research labs, engineering, and production sites as a World Wide Lab which offers controlled exchange of selected, innovation-relevant data even across company boundaries. In this article, we define the underlying Computer Science challenges implied by these novel concepts in four layers: Smart human interfaces provide access to information that has been generated by model-integrated AI. Given the large variety of manufacturing data, new data modeling techniques should enable efficient management of Digital Shadows, which is supported by an interconnected infrastructure. Based on a detailed analysis of these challenges, we derive a systematized research roadmap to make the vision of the Internet of Production a reality.

Several studies suggest that (almost) all standardization working groups (WGs) are dominated by large firms and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and are typically marginalized. However, SMEs account for around 99% of all enterprises in the EU; their active participation in the standardization process would thus be crucial to develop ICT standards that meet the needs of the vast majority of their users. This article first discusses the current situation of SMEs in ICT standardization and the associated issues. Second, it conducts an econometric analysis to investigate the drivers of the use of ICT standards and engagement in ICT standardization based on a large and representative survey from Luxembourg. Regardless of their size, firms that actually and consciously deploy ICT standards in their core business are much more prepared to participate in standards-setting actively than those that do not. The article also proposes a way to exploit this correlation. The resulting implications for standards-setting organizations and policymakers are discussedn. 10.1109/TEM.2022.3226121 1 Cesare Antonio FabioRiillo KaiJakobs proceedings 2022-jakobs-euras Proceedings of the 26th EURAS Annual Standardisation Conference - Standardisation and Open Source 2022 17 Kai Jakobs Mainz Publishers EURAS Contributions to Standardisation Research Glasgow 26th EURAS Annual Standardisation Conference June 8-10 2022 978-3-95886-446-7 KaiJakobs inproceedings lorenz-ven2us-2022 Interconnected network protection systems - the basis for the reliable and safe operation of distribution grids with a high penetration of renewable energies and electric vehicle 2022 Power grids are increasingly faced with the introduction of decentralized, highly volatile power supplies from renewable energies and high loads occurring from e-mobility. However, today’s static grid protection cannot manage all upcoming conditions while providing a high level of dependability and security. It forms a bottleneck of a future decarbonizing grid development. In our research project, we develop and verify an adaptive grid protection algorithm. It calculates situation dependent protection parameters for the event of power flow shifts and topology changes caused by volatile power supplies due to the increase of renewable generation and the rapid expansion of e-mobility. As a result the distribution grid can be operated with the optimally adapted protection parameters and functions for changing operating states. To safely adjust the values on protection hardware in the field, i.e., safe from hardware failures and cyberattacks, we research resilient and secure communication concepts for the adaptive and interconnected grid protection system. Finally, we validate our concept and system by demonstrations in the laboratory and field tests. ven2us Proceedings of the CIRED workshop on E-mobility and power distribution systems 2022, June 2-3, 2022, Porto, Portugal Porto CIRED workshop on E-mobility and power distribution systems 2022 June 2-3, 2022 10.1049/icp.2022.0768 1 MatthiasLorenz Tobias MarkusPletzer MalteSchuhmacher TorstenSowa MichaelDahms SimonStock DavoodBabazadeh ChristianBecker JohannJaeger TobiasLorz MarkusDahlmanns Ina BereniceFink KlausWehrle AndreasUlbig PhilippLinnartz AntigonaSelimaj ThomasOffergeld
