  2. Background • IEEE Computer Society is a Category A Liaison to SC 7. • The Computer Society does not vote. • But it does get to participate, offer comments, and contribute documents (via a standing agreement with the US National Body). • The liaison relationship provides SC 7 access to Computer Society expertise around the world. • The liaison represents Computer Society interests in BOK, certifications, curricula and professional activities. • In accordance with the Bylaws of the IEEE, the liaison operates in accordance with the provisions of the “PSDO.” • In IEEE, the liaison reports to Computer Society Standards Activities Board (SAB) and coordinates with Software and Systems Engineering Standards Committee (S2ESC) and IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA). • In SC 7, the liaison provides reports to the Chair, the Secretariat, and the meetings of the HODs. • The liaison also represents the Computer Society’s membership in the US Technical Advisory Group to SC 7.

  3. Why Does the Computer Society Do This? • Throughout the Computer Society, we are undertaking efforts to make the Society the “go to” place for software engineering. • One of its strengths is the standards collection of the IEEE Software and Systems Engineering Standards Committee (S2ESC). • One of its weaknesses is inconsistency between these standards and international standards (from ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7) on the same subject. Differences reduce the credibility of both standards on a given subject. • IEEE and SC 7 have undertaken a program to make the two collections completely consistent using the PSDO. • We use approaches: • Adoption: One organization adopts the standard of the other. • Joint projects: Either to merge two standards, develop a new one serving both organizations, or revise an existing one.

  4. PSDO Agreement • The IEEE Standards Association and ISO Central Secretariat have concluded a PSDO – Partner Standards Development Organization – agreement. • The agreement provides uniform procedures for joint development and maintenance of standards by IEEE and designated TCs of ISO and SCs of JTC 1.

  5. Inconsistencies in the two collections, circa 1995

  6. Inconsistencies in the two collections today

  7. Liaison representatives • Jim Moore, lead, James.W.Moore@ieee.org • Pieter Botman, focusing on certification standards, P.Botman@ieee.org • Terry Doran, focusing on process standards, Terry.Doran@computer.org • Paul Joannou, focusing on safety standards, pauljoannou@rogers.com • Typically, the Computer Society provides the editor for joint standards projects (see remaining charts)

  12. Relevant Results of SC 7 Interim Meeting: Document Progress • 15026-1, Sys and SW Assurance Concepts and Vocabulary: Send to DIS ballot. • 15026-3, Integrity Levels: Editor to prepare working draft. • 15288, Sys Processes: Send to NWIP and CD ballot. • 24748-4, Management of Systems Engineering: Send to CD2 ballot. • 24748-5, SW Development Planning: Send to CD1 ballot.

  13. Relevant Results of SC 7 Interim: Study Group • Study Group on IEEE 1012: • Describe differences in vocabulary and concepts. • List changes needed for adoption by SC 7. • Work with WG1012 to negotiate agreement on changes. • Study Group on Applying ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 to Service Architectures: • Prepare NWIP for ballot

  14. Relevant Results of SC 7 Interim: Other • Drafting of joint revision to IEEE Std 2001(ISO/IEC 23026) has begun. Annette Reilly is the lead editor. • Decision whether to fast-track IEEE 828 was deferred--“editors of 15288 should, in preparing CD 1, ensure harmonization with IEEE 828 to the greatest degree possible.” • Testing: The interim meeting of the relevant WG has not yet occurred. • Certification: Botman will report to PAB. • BKCASE: The status was presented. • NATO is interested in adoption of 12207.

  15. Relevant Results of SC 7 Interim: Recognition • Dr. Karen Richter, for serving as an editor of 15026-4.

  16. Summary of Effectiveness 1 • (These numbers are current as of Sep 2012.) • There are 51 S2ESC standards (now or imminent) • 33 identical with SC7 (completed or imminent) • 5 more potentially identical • 13 others • 2 outside SC7 scope • 7 SC7 does not work in the area • 3 IEEE provides a legitimate alternative • 1 (1074) likely to remain inconsistent • Projects affecting 11 standards are underway • (Note: Some projects are both completed and underway, i.e. initial completion followed by revision)

  17. Summary of Effectiveness 2 • As a result of harmonization with SC 7, since 2005, old IEEE standards have been updated with modern revisions: • 1 IEEE standard(s) last revised in 2003 • 1 IEEE standard(s) last revised in 2000 • 6 IEEE standard(s) last revised in 1998 • 3 IEEE standard(s) last revised in 1996 • 1 IEEE standard(s) last revised in 1995 • 2 IEEE standard(s) last revised in 1992 • 1 IEEE standard(s) last revised in 1990 • 1 IEEE standard(s) last revised in 1987

  18. Summary of Effectiveness 3 • We have created a coherent, consistent collection of standards, recognized world-wide, that supports and is supported by: • An agreed body of knowledge • An agreed vocabulary database • Certification programs • Training programs • … making IEEE CS the international go-to place for codified knowledge of software engineering.
