IEEE CS SAB, Mar 2009 IEEE Computer Society Category A Liaison to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7: Status Report Jim Moore IEEE Computer Society Liaison Representative to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 Prepared for IEEE CS SAB June 2013 IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report

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. As provided by 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. Jun 2013

Why Does the Computer Society Do This? IEEE CS SAB, Mar 2009 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. The role of SAB and S2ESC is to deal with the standards collection. One of the strengths of the CS software engineering program 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.

IEEE CS SAB, Mar 2009 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. Jun 2013 IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report

Goals and Objectives of the Society Representative to SC 7 The goal is to support the Computer Society as the “owner” of a single, globally relevant characterization of the scope and content of systems and software engineering, with the following specific objectives: Ensure that the SC7 adoption of the SWEBOK Guide, ISO/IEC TR 19759, remains consistent with the IEEE CS SWEBOK Guide as it evolves. Ensure that any SC7 activities related to professional certifications are supportive of the CS certification programs. Under the terms of the PSDO and in cooperation with IEEE-SA, improve the degree of alignment between IEEE S2ESC standards and SC7 standards. Seek improvement of standards to provide additional rigor for situations of high consequence. (Revised wording approved by SAB, February 2013.) Jun 2013
