“…From a European smart city perspective, standards help cities work, enable incremental improvements, and trigger citywide transformations [58]. For this, standards need to be incorporated into corresponding frameworks and conceptual approaches, as has been conducted by Mourshed et al, Exner, and Lindner et al [58][59][60].…”

As cities tackle a variety of recent challenges, such as climate change or resilience against natural hazards, the concept of smart cities has increasingly moved into the spotlight to provide technological solutions as appropriate countermeasures. European policymakers chose the systematic funding of smart city initiatives to incentivize and accelerate innovation and sustainability transitions by disseminating knowledge, data, and information. As this undertaking is complex, there is a pressing need to involve and engage capable stakeholders to successfully implement and operate smart city projects. To ensure the diffusion and effectiveness of these initiatives, activities towards replication and standardization as knowledge management instruments have been applied in some of these research projects. However, there is a knowledge gap on how standardization can be combined with replication efforts. As one possible answer, the lighthouse project Smarter Together has actively integrated standardization in its replication activities, resulting in the development of the CEN Workshop Agreement 17381 for describing and assessing smart city solutions. The analysis of these activities resulted in the development of 11 assumptions, which show the role of standardization as a knowledge carrier for replication activities and as a facilitator for stakeholder engagement. These findings reinforce the chosen and future policy decisions.

“…In order to be successful and sufficiently fast, standardization needs cross-sectoral systems thinking [1] as well as multidisciplinary, flexible and comprehensive processes and new tools [1], [46], [47]. Some such new approaches and tools have emerged in recent years, such as roadmaps [1], [48], use cases [49], requirements engineering approaches [50], Reference Architectures [51], standards mapping [52], and anticipation and foresight studies [46]. One tool that has recently attracted global attention is testbeds.…”

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) poses multiple challenges to traditional standardization, due to the complexity, dynamics, and accelerating speed of technological progress. The need for a timely availability of standards calls for new approaches and tools to enhance standardization processes for smart manufacturing. Industry and standards development organizations worldwide are seeking new solutions. Testbeds have been acknowledged in innovation policy as a powerful tool for knowledge transfer and the further development of emerging technologies. Lately, they have also attracted increasing attention from the standardization perspective as a promising tool for a more agile standards development process. Proponents of such testbeds expect them to support standardization by providing validated solutions and accelerating the processes to meet the growing demands for faster standardization without any detriment to quality. In an explorative, qualitative approach this article is the first to investigate the operation and impact of testbeds in standardization processes based on a multiple case study on testbeds implemented worldwide in the context of the IIoT.

“…Nevertheless, there exist projects that also emphasize interoperability. For instance, the ESPRESSO project [26] promotes common metadata structures and open standards to avoid vendor lock-in. Similarly, the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities (EIP-SCC) [27] brings together different stakeholders, and proposes a reference architecture inspired in ESPRESSO.…”
