IEEE CS SAB, May 2008 For Computer Society Internal Use Only 4 Standards Products VuSpec Software Engineering Standards Collection –2009 update in progress Standards for Students –In collaboration with IEEE-SA –A specially-priced collection of software and systems engineering standards for students –The life cycle framework standards (Software) and (Systems) + core supporting standards + the SWEBOK

IEEE CS SAB, May 2008 For Computer Society Internal Use Only 5 Small Business Study Group - 1 Understand: –How do small businesses use IEEE and other software standards? –Why do small businesses (and large businesses) not use the standards? –How should standards be tailored to support the infrastructure available in small businesses? –How can (and why should) small businesses contribute to the development of standards? –How can a firm advertise compliance to a standard? Act: –Inform small businesses of the benefits of using IEEE Software Standards –Inform IEEE about the potential market that is not being serviced by the current approach

IEEE CS SAB, May 2008 For Computer Society Internal Use Only 7 Standardization For Medical Informatics - 1 Healthcare Information Systems (HCIS) Study Group –Standards for the US healthcare information network (NHIN) –S2ESC is registered as a Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) SDO member ANSI subcommittee working for the Department of Health and Human Services –Coordination with other CS and IEEE standards committees and relevant Societies EMBS – Elliot Sloane, Todd Cooper RS – Lou Gullo –Chair, Rebecca Smith, President of RebL systems, formerly of HP, currently working with the UCSF Medical Center

Standardization For Medical Informatics - 2 Identified (first pass) IEEE Health Informatics Standards not currently integrated with Software and Systems Engineering Standards Gaining access to other IEEE Societies [e.g. Medicine & Biology society - Medical Informatics and Computer-Based Medical Systems]- to ensure all areas are identified so that we can better position ourselves. Initiated mapping of existing, relevant IEEE Standards to Health Informatics functions. Began IEEE Collaboration Next Steps –Identify an Initial Set of S2ESC Standards, most likely those needed to achieve SEI/CMMI-Level 2 –Create descriptive summaries of identified Standards that show their value to practitioners –Create an overview of the value of S2ESC standards to software development organizations, integrators and end users in the healthcare industry IEEE CS SAB, May 2008 For Computer Society Internal Use Only 8
