IT Consultancy/Development

In the framework of this fellowship, I contribute to several different standardisation activities, including: addressing minor edits to IEEE 2089.1 and developing a Certification Scheme with IEEE, applying to IEEE CTSoc/ETSC to form a study group to develop a PAR on Parental Consent, participation in BSI IST/33/5 and ISO/IEC JTC1 SC27 WG5 re ISO 27566 Parts 1, 2 and 3, ETSI STF 681 Age Verification Expert Member.

Understanding how to work in international standardisation committees is vital, which implies going beyond IT asset management microcosm to deliver more value to related disciplines such as cybersecurity or sustainability. 

This project, towards enabling a fairer marketplace for rights holders and remuneration of authors and performers, initiated work on a new standard ISO/IEC 23000-23 Decentralised Media Rights Application Format currently at the Working Draft (WD) stage. 

Having MEP equipment modelled and standardised could make this process economic and a disruptive market technology. The final objective is to develop an initial ontology oriented to simulation in buildings.

There is a growing need for information about building services systems during the planning and design of buildings. The designers in building services must execute detailed calculations and simulations to ensure saving of energy and to satisfy hygienic and comfort criteria in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and sanitary plants. 

With this fellowship, I aim to consolidate the European activities and strengthen the European participation in my ISO work group which is yet too limited. In terms of international developments, the priority has been set to the final consolidation of the ISO 22726 series.

Identifying standardisation gaps and creating road maps is essential for ensuring technology development addresses key problem areas.  

In the transversal aspects in data spaces, there is a lack of guidance on the integration of security and privacy, and it is crucial to develop this further as it is a barrier for compliance with regulation (e.g. CRA, AI act). 

This fellowship allows me to take part to all meetings concerning Cybersecurity, Privacy and Artificial Intelligence (even most are very early or very late in the day, as per rules for scheduling in SDO's), whilst being able to keep delivering standard based consulting especially for SMEs which need to comply for ISO 27001 certifications mostly. 

With this fellowship, the aim is to create and continue working on a Technical standard proposal, and I decided to push such action to Joint Working Group 4 which is directly in liaison with ISO/SC27 in charge of the security of IT systems. 

The targeted ICT standards development activity aims to address the dynamic changes in the European Union's financial services landscape, driven by the Payment Services Directive (PSD3), Payment Services Regulation (PSR), and financial data access (FIDA). The objective is to adapt and enhance existing standards to align with the regulatory updates introduced by PSD3, PSR, and FIDA.

This work is addressing the demand of harmonised standards for radio regulations certification. In particular it is addressing RFID in the UHF frequency bands 865-868 and 915-921 MHz.
