Standards Coordinating Committee 20 on Test and Diagnosis for Electronic Systems Slide 1 SCC20 Liaison Report Dr. John W. Sheppard May

Standards Coordinating Committee 20 Slide 2 Scope “Provides for the management, development, and maintenance of language and interface standards supporting system-level (onboard and offboard) automatic test and diagnosis. These standards include (but are not limited to) test requirements, test programs, test procedures, diagnostic knowledge, maintenance information, and major hardware subsystem interfaces between and within Automatic Test Systems.”

Standards Coordinating Committee 20 Slide 7 Recent and Current Issues Standards Demonstrations: –Standards development being supported by US DoD and UK MoD. –US DoD initiatives based on “Automatic Test System Framework” where 20+ interfaces have been defined. –Developed standards to be registered and mandated via the DoD Information Technology Standards Registry (DISR). –Prior to mandate, all new standards must be “demonstrated.” –Currently, the ATML, SIMICA, and AI-ESTATE standards are undergoing the demonstration process.

Standards Coordinating Committee 20 Slide 8 Recent and Current Issues Ad Hoc Committee on SCCs –Created by Roberto DeMarca. John Walz and Robby Robson are members. –Examining multiple issues, one of which sole vs. joint sponsorship of SCCs. –Since SCC20 is jointly sponsored, it became an SCC of interest to this group. –A questionnaire has been distributed. What is the ideal scenario for Technical Society's participation in SCC? What would be the best value proposition from the Technical Society to an SCC? What can and should the Technical Society bring to the table? Can you map each of your working groups to one or more Technical Society Technical Committees? Possible role of Technical Society in the SCC governance and on facilitating it's projects. –SCC20 plans to respond shortly. The SCC20 liaison has already provided input.
