The IEEE P2784 Standardization Process Workshop: the use of Delphi method and interactive evaluation tools to identify perceptions about Smart Cities

Abstract

This paper contains a description of the planning and design of a workshop that will be held during the 2020 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference and also the description of the methodology and tools that are planned to be used during this workshop. The IEEE P2784 Standardization Process Workshop is based upon the IEEE P2784 Standard Project – currently under development – and is intended to provide a consistent discussion about the subject of this standard, and to identify the perceptions of the participants about smart cites. The objective of this paper is to document part of the process of stakeholder engagement during a standardization development, and to demonstrate how Delphi method and interactive evaluation tools can help to identify perceptions and to build a consensus-based standard.
