International Scientific Organizations

ACM - Association for Computer MachineryThe Association for Computing Machinery, or ACM, was founded in 1947 as the world's first

scientific and educational computing society. Its membership is currently around 78,000. Its headquarters are in New York City. CM is organized into over 170 local chapters and 34 special interest groups (SIGs), through which it conducts most of its activities. Additionally, there are over 500 college and university chapters.

IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics EngineersThe Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE (pronounced as

eye-triple-e) is an international non-profit, professional organization for the advancement of technology related to electricity. It has the most members of any technical professional organization in the world, with more than 360,000 members in around 175 countries. IEEE produces 30 percent of the world's literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields, and has developed more than 900 active industry standards. It also sponsors or cosponsors more than 300 international technical conferences each year. The IEEE consists of 39 societies, organized around specialized technical fields, with more than 300 local organizations that hold regular meetings. The IEEE publishes an extensive range of peer-reviewed journals, and is a major international standards body (nearly 900 active standards with 700 under development).

Where Should The Industry Improve?

For large software development projects, the most important decisions and the most expensive mistakes are done at the beginning of the project

At the same time, the initial amount of quality control is minimal and then grows as development moves forward. This results in a costly rework (often hidden) on the late stages of the project
