IEEE CS SAB, Mar 2009 IEEE Computer Society Category A Liaison to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7: Status Report Annette Reilly IEEE Computer Society Liaison Representative to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 June 2017 IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report
Goal of the Liaison to SC 7 The goal is to support the IEEE Computer Society as a joint “owner” with ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC7 of a single, globally relevant characterization of the scope and content of systems and software engineering. IEEE and ISO/IEC JTC1 have over 35 joint standards today, including SC7, SC22, with 17 joint standards in development or revision June 2017
Objectives of the SC7 Society Representative Under the terms of the Partner Standards Development Organization (PSDO) agreement, and in cooperation with IEEE-Standards Association, 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, and broad applicability for current processes and methods Ensure that the SC7 adoption of the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK Guide), ISO/IEC TR 19759, remains consistent with the IEEE CS SWEBOK Guide as it evolves. June 2017
Working relationships 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 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 Partner Standards Development Organization (PSDO) agreement. 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 Secretariat. The liaison also represents the Computer Society’s membership in the US Technical Advisory Group to SC 7. IEEE-Standards Association intends to transfer administration of the US TAG to SC7 to INCITS in November 2017. June 2017
Portfolio status As of June 2017, there are 56 IEEE S2ESC standards 17 IEEE-unique 11 IEEE-adopted from ISO/IEC 28 Joint ISO/IEC/IEEE Projects for 31 standards are underway 17 of these are joint projects with SC7 Note: Some projects are both completed and underway, i.e. initial completion followed by revision June 2017

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 systems and software engineering. The role of its Standards Activity Board (SAB) and Systems and Software Engineering Standards Committee (S2ESC) is to deal with the standards collection. One of the strengths of the CS systems and software engineering program is the standards collection of the S2ESC. One of its weaknesses is inconsistency between these standards and other international standards (from ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7) on the same subject. Differences reduce the credibility of both standards on a given subject. CS and SC 7 have undertaken a program to make the two collections completely consistent using the PSDO. We use two 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. Where there is no overlap, we encourage revision of our standards in a manner that avoids contradiction with those of the SC 7 collection. June 2017 IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report
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. IEEE also has a dual logo agreement with IEC. June 2017 IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report
How does joint development between IEEE and ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC work? Typically, one working group (SC7 or IEEE) takes the lead in working draft development and comments management The lead working group prepares text in ISO format with very minor modifications for the triple copyright notices, Foreword text Each partner follows its own procedures for Working group formation, Project initiation (ISO NWIP, IEEE PAR) Agreement to go to ballot (ISO CD, IEEE initial ballot) The lead working group resolves comments from both IEEE and ISO ballots Further ballots and revisions until consensus approval is gained for the identical text (ISO DIS/FDIS, IEEE recirculations are scheduled concurrently) ISO ITTF and IEEE Standards Association editors work together to prepare the final published version.
