  1. National computer societies – the role of TC’s. Jan Wibe TC 3 Chair the International Federation for Information Processing

  2. Background The project addresses issues identified in the IFIP Strategy document: Project 3.a. Member societies: new services Complete text

  3. Project analysis: A It has been recognized that IFIP has problems in satisfying the needs of its stakeholders, the national computer societies. To quote the managing director of the Norwegian Computer Society: “I feel that IFIP is mainly for it’s own sake and not for the national computer societies. I would like that the TC’s produce more; - f.ex. articles, reports, statistics or publications which could be available for the member societies”.

  4. Project analysis: B To address these problems a close cooperation between TC’s and national computer societies is needed. This cooperation should produce results that are of value both to the stakeholders of IFIP (the national computer societies) and the TC’s. The very essence of the cooperation is to identify the needs that are common to stakeholders and TC’s and to address these needs. One common interest might be found in the implementation of IFIP professional standards in local, national contexts

  5. General description of the project: First find topic which is of interest to computer societies, preferably an interest that is within the scope of a computer society special interest group. Secondly the topic must be interesting to the TC’s involved. Aim of the project is not for IFIP to provide services, but a cooperation that will create results satisfying the common interest.

  6. Atelier and Studio: The Ateliers function is to generate generic knowledge based on the implementation experience in different local contexts, called “studios”. In the Atelier the local experiences are brought together to learn from. Generic knowledge developed from these experiences in the Atelier will help the local studio implementation. In this case studio’s would be implementations that national computer societies realise in their national environment. The Atelier can be realised as part of normal IFIP TC activities, bringing together TC-members and national computer society professionals. Basically an Atelier is a community of interest. Generic model Generic structure

  7. Participants: Selection of participants in the project: Select 2 – 3 TC’s to take part in the project. This could be done by TA. 2 – 3 computer societies should also be selected or invited. The 3 TC’s must work in close cooperation with the national computer societies. Project
