Report to IEEE CS SESC of IEEE CS/SC7 Liaison 4 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers u IEEE is the world’s largest organization of technical professionals--about 375,000 individuals. u It publishes 30% of the world’s technical literature in its areas of interest. u It has a collection of about 50 standards for software and systems engineering. u With about 100,000 members, the IEEE Computer Society is the largest of the 36 Technical Societies of the IEEE. u IEEE CS originates all of the Information Technology standards approved by the IEEE. u All IEEE standards are initiated, approved and published by the IEEE Standards Association.

Report to IEEE CS SESC of IEEE CS/SC7 Liaison 6 IEEE and the Computer Society are International in Scope u IEEE has members in 150 countries. u About half of IEEE CS members have non-US addresses. Non-US membership is growing more rapidly. u IEEE standards are used in many countries, e.g. Australia, India, European Space Agency. u Many SC7 experts contribute to SESC standards.

Report to IEEE CS SESC of IEEE CS/SC7 Liaison 7 IEEE Standards u IEEE standards are created by forming a consensus of individual technical professionals. (In a few cases, organizational balloting is used.) u IEEE-SA has a long history of international coordination on the content of important standards, e.g.: u ISO/IEC 9945 standards (POSIX) are identical with IEEE 1003 standards. u ISO/IEC standards (LAN/MAN) are identical with IEEE standards.

Report to IEEE CS SESC of IEEE CS/SC7 Liaison 8 IEEE CS Software Engineering Standards Committee (SESC) u Purpose [from SESC Charter]: u Codify the norms of professional software engineering practices into standards. u Promote use of software engineering standards among clients, practitioners, and educators. u Harmonize national and international software engineering standards development. u Scope [from SESC Fundamental Policy 2]: u Standardization of processes, products, resources, notations, methods, nomenclatures, and techniques for the engineering of software and systems dependent on software.

Report to IEEE CS SESC of IEEE CS/SC7 Liaison 9 These standards were all adopted with minor changes to normative content. Separate adoption virtually guarantees capricious differences. The approved coordination procedure addresses this problem. IEEE has already adopted several SC7 standards u IS 12207, Software Life Cycle Processes (IEEE/EIA ) u Supplemented with guides to data and process implementation u IS 12119, Software Packages--Quality and Testing (IEEE 1465) u IS 14102, Guidelines for Evaluation and Selection of CASE Tools (IEEE 1462) u IS , Functional Size Measurement Concepts (IEEE )

Report to IEEE CS SESC of IEEE CS/SC7 Liaison 11 History of Liaison Relationship

Report to IEEE CS SESC of IEEE CS/SC7 Liaison 12 Status: Plans u “Vision of Liaison Outcomes” was circulated to SC7 as 07N2742 and approved as summarized in 07N2803. u It provides a road map for harmonization of the collections. u IEEE CS will offer proposals that implement the plan. u It would be appropriate for SC7 and IEEE CS to jointly set priorities for implementing the plan.

Report to IEEE CS SESC of IEEE CS/SC7 Liaison 13 Status: Procedures 07N2860 is the approved set of coordination procedures approved at the May 2003 meeting of SC7.

Report to IEEE CS SESC of IEEE CS/SC7 Liaison 16 Status: Quality Management IEEE-SA has decided to adopt alone rather than with ASQ. New SC7 study group for System Quality Management. New ISO includes an annex with a SW Quality Mgmt Plan. Update proposed actions to remove ASQ coordination.

Report to IEEE CS SESC of IEEE CS/SC7 Liaison 17 Status: Systems Engineering WG7 requested first revision of 1220 by IEEE CS alone. T. Doran is chair of IEEE WG. WG7 has appointed liaison reps and proposed revision topics. Result will be fast-tracked. INCOSE wants OR status. Update to indicate actual plan for 1220 and for harmonization.
