IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report 6
New Projects underway in IEEE
• Adopt ISO/IEC 90003.
• Adopt ISO/IEC 15289 to replace IEEE 12207.1.
• Adopt ISO/IEC 20000-1 and 20000-2 to provide a shared basis for work on IT Services and Management.
• Consider adoption (possibly with exceptions) of ISO/IEC 25051, COTS Product Quality.
May 2007: SAB, D2
IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report 7
Potential Issue: 1465/25051• IEEE adopted ISO/IEC 12119 (with exceptions) as IEEE Std 1465-
1998.• Recently, SC 7 revised 12119 as ISO/IEC 25051.• IEEE is considering adoption of 25051 to replace 12119/1465.• However
– IEEE attorneys have requested changes related to treatment of safety issues (due to relevant laws in US).
– A small study group has issued a preliminary opinion that 25051 is less satisfactory than 12119/1465.
• Alternatives to be considered:– Adopt 25051 (with exceptions) to replace 1465.– Revise 1465 (i.e. revise the exceptions).– Retain 1465 as is.– Withdraw 1465, so that IEEE has no standard on the subject.
• Does the AG have an opinion on which alternative is to be preferred?
May 2007: SAB, D2
IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report 8
Potential Issue: 16085
• Work in ISO TMB Working Group on Risk Management may undermine ISO/IEC/IEEE 16085.– They are changing definitions with which the standard
was harmonized.– They are describing a generic risk management
“process” that is structured differently than 16085.
• SC 27 is conflicted regarding their security risk management standard. They are pulled between the new work of ISO TMB and the existing text of 16085.
May 2007: SAB, D2
IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report 9
A Notable Project: 24765• Shared vocabulary for software and systems
engineering.• IEEE contributed IEEE Std 610.12.• SC 7 contributed its vocabulary aggregations.• Other sources, e.g. PMI, made contributions.• IEEE CS has developed and is hosting a database
application providing public web access.– http://www.computer.org/sevocab
• SC 7/WG 22 will maintain the database.• SC 7/WG 22 will facilitate the consolidation of alternative
definitions.• Occasional snapshots of the database will be published
as ISO/IEC and IEEE 24765.
May 2007: SAB, D2
IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report 10
A Notable (Planned) Project: Assurance
• IEEE-CS has contributed an “alternative proposal” to SC 7 for the revision of ISO/IEC 15026.
• This has been tabled for consideration in WG 7.
May 2007: SAB, D2
IEEE-CS/SC7 Liaison Report 11
A Notable (Planned) Project: Testing• BSI will contribute their two standards on testing.• IEEE will contribute 829 and 1008.• A new four-part standard will be created at the international level.
– Compatible with international (and IEEE) systems and software processes– Compatible with international (and IEEE) documentation standards– Compatible with SWEBOK Guide (TR 19760)– Covering a larger scope than the current standards
• BSI and IEEE Computer Society have socialized this proposal at meetings and by correspondence.
• In accordance with our agreement, IEEE-CS will provide an editor, Ursula Parker. UK has nominated a convener, Stuart Reid.
• BSI (the UK National Body) has submitted a New Work Item proposal. Unfortunately, the ballot closes on the day following the plenary meeting.
• We ask SC 7 to:– Authorize an ad hoc group to serve as a surrogate for the WG (pending approval
of the NP) which will meet during the week of the Moscow meetings.– Approve a resolution creating a working group contingent upon successful
balloting of the NP.
