I wish to talk from perspective of computer science/electronic engineering. For example we have things like bluetooth, zigbee, TCP/IP, WiFi, GSM and much more that we use daily.
What is the difference in this case between Specification, Standard, Protocol? For example is WiFi a standard or a Protocol? Is GSM a Specification and so on...
Could you kindly clear this with some details?
A specification defines those you should do in your implementation and it's more suggestive. I can't find a proper example in your field. But in programming, we can say a programming language has a language specification, e.g. C++ language specification, Java language specification, etc.
A protocol defines communication rules between two or more different systems. It defines events to drive the communication and actions taken when events received by any side.
I don't have a clear idea about standard, but think it may describe some more general concept than specification.
Your example, WiFi has nothing to do with specification or standard. However, there is some protocols associated with it, e.g. 802.11a/b/g, etc(from wikipedia, they are categorized as 802.11 standards, which beyonds my knowledge).
