22. SYSTEMS Copyright © 2006 Q.E.D. Systems ITU-T The standardization work of ITU-T is carried out by the technical Study Groups (SGs) in which representatives of the ITU-T membership develop Recommendations (standards) for the various fields of international telecommunications. The SGs drive their work primarily in the form of study Questions. Each of these addresses technical studies in a particular area of telecommunication standardization. Each SG has a SG Chairman and a number of vice-chairmen appointed by the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA). Study Group 2 - Operational aspects of service provision, networks and performance Lead Study Group on Service definition, Numbering and Routing. Lead Study Group for Telecommunication for Disaster Relief/Early Warning. Study Group 3 - Tariff and accounting principles including related telecommunication economic and policy issues Study Group 4 - Telecommunication management Lead Study Group on Telecommunication Management. Study Group 5 - Protection against electromagnetic environment effects Study Group 6 - Outside plant and related indoor installations Study Group 9 - Integrated broadband cable networks and television and sound transmission Lead Study Group on integrated broadband cable and television networks. Study Group 11 - Signalling requirements and protocols Lead Study Group on signalling and protocols Lead Study Group on intelligent networks Study Group 12 - Performance and quality of service Lead Study Group on Quality of Service and performance. Study Group 13 - Next Generation Networks Lead study group for NGN and satellite matters. Study Group 15 - Optical and other transport network infrastructures Lead Study Group on Access Network Transport and on Optical Technology. Study Group 16 - Multimedia terminals, systems and applications Lead Study Group on multimedia terminals, systems and applications. Lead Study Group on ubiquitous applications (“e-everything”, such as e-health and e-business). Study Group 17 - Security, languages and telecommunication software Lead Study Group on Telecommunication Security. Lead Study Group on Languages and Description Techniques. Study Group 19 - Mobile telecommunication networks Lead Study Group on mobile telecommunication networks and for mobility. Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group (TSAG) TSAG reviews priorities, programmes, operations, financial matters and strategies for the Sector, follows up on the accomplishment of the work programme, restructures and establishes ITU-T Study Groups, provides guidelines to the Study Groups, advises the Director of TSB, elaborates A-series Recommendations on organization and working procedures.

23. SYSTEMS Copyright © 2006 Q.E.D. Systems ITU-T Workshop Network RFID 14-15 February 2006 Objectives The event focused on the use of RFID technology in networked environments, and review international standardization. Particular emphasis will be given to the impact that networked RFID applications will have on telecommunication networks, especially on network and service capability requirements and inter-working aspects. –Present the status of RFID technology and identify future trends –Review current and future applications, services and business models leveraging networked RFIDs (NRFIDs) –Identify NRFID aspects relevant to telecommunications (services and network capabilities, architecture, QoS, performance, security, etc.) –Analyse how far existing standards can support NRFID applications and services, and identify where enhanced or new standards might be needed –Identify elements for a roadmap for a standardization framework, including the clarification of the role of applicable SDOs, forums and consortia
