We, IEEE SA P3800 WG (alias, IEEE Data Trading System Working Group) get nominated as IEEE SA EMERGING TECHNOLOGY AWARD. The WG officers attended the The IEEE SA Emerging Technology Award Ceremony in New Jersey of US, where also held IEEE STANDARDS ASSOCIATION – DECEMBER GOVERNANCE MEETING SERIES from WEDNESDAY, 3 DECEMBER – WEDNESDAY, 10 DECEMBER 2025.

According to IEEE SA, this award is presented to an individual, working group, or company that has advanced, initiated,or progressed a new technology within the lEEE SA open consensus process that meets the following criteria: The lEEE SA work product is a balloted standards draft or an approved standard recommended practice, or guide. lt is not necessary for the final document to be approved but substantial progress beyond the Project Authorization Request (PAR) is necessary.

The lEEE SA work product:

  • Is the first or one of few such activities for thetechnology, industry, or market(s) for which it istargeted
  • Is a technology, industry, or market wherebroad consensus agreements are not yet widelydeployed or not yet fully commercialized
  • Has positive market relevance
  • Puts lEEE in a leadership position
  • Extends the lEEE SA standards portfolio
  • Recognition consists of an engraved sculpture anda certificate.

RECOGNITION
For the development of lEEE Std 3800-2024, lEEE Standard for a Data-Trading System: Overview, Terminology, and Reference Model

HIGHLIGHTS
The lEEE DTS (Data Trading System) Working Group (WG) was formed in june 2020 based on work begun under the lEEE Industry Connections Data Trading program. It achieved a unique feat by standardizing the architecture of the intermediary function, a critical component for data spaces. This pioneering work by the IEEE DTSWG culminated in the publication of lEEE Std 3800™-2024, lEEE Standard for a Data Trading System: Overview, Terminology, and Reference Model.

As autonomous, distributed, and cooperative data federations, data spaces arepoised for significant industrial development.The data-space concept is criticalas it protects data sovereignty while enabling data-free flow with trust (DFFT). Recognizing this importance, legislative frameworks are now being implemented in Europe and are under consideration in several Asian countries, making the IEEE DTSWG’s standardization work timely and influential.

Beyond developing this foundational standard, the lEEE DTS WG spearheaded the establishment of the International Open Forum on Data Society (lOFDS). This forumfosters collaboration among international data space-related organizations and has successfully promoted international cooperation involving major stakeholders With the International Data Spaces Association, the lEEE DTS WG co-hosts “Dataspaces Week,” a semiannual collaborative symposium that has attracted more than 800 participants from 30 organizations across 10 countries. The IEEE DTS WG’s leadership in chairing this significant event underscores its central role in the global community.
