SC/Technical Committees (TC) Relationships
Objectives

• Create relevant and timely standards by engaging
  CS Technical Committees (TC) membership into
  Standards Committee (SC) Groups Study, Working,
  Balloting
• Promote awareness and deployment of Standards and
  sales of CS derivative supportive products by
  engaging CS Technical Committees to use Standards
  information and products in their conferences and
  publications
• DASC work area maps to
• TC on Design Automation (TCDA)
• TC on VLSI (TCVLSI)

SC/TC Relationships Benefits

• TC experts GOLD members are quick to uncover
  emerging technology for Standards
• TC experts can drive new SC Study Groups to
  propose standards.
• TC experts can comment / ballot on SC Working
  Group draft standards as to the relevancy to the
  current problem
• TC experts can recommend channels for SC products
  supporting deployment of standards

Society model for developing standards

• SC are designed to use Societys infrastructure
  of technical activities, conferences, awards,
  publications, and Chapters, for
• Access to technical experts for the Standards
  Study Group, Working Group, Balloting Group
• Contribution to Standards Committee roadmap of
  current and future projects
• Early detection of emerging technologies
• Expert reviews of draft PAR and draft standards
• Co-location of Standards Working Group meetings
  with Conference
• Support of standards deployment and
  implementation
• Recognize volunteers
• Provide opportunities for volunteers to be authors

Your PAR draft standard approval criteria, e.g.
LMSC(802) Criteria for Standards

• Broad Market Potential
• Broad sets of applicability
• Multiple vendors and numerous users
• Balanced costs
• Compatibility
• Conformance with Architecture, Management, and
  Interworking documents
• Each standard shall include a definition of
  managed objects that are compatible with systems
  management standards

Your Plans aligned with IEEE-SA Strategic
Planning Five Key Focus Areas

• Organizational Business Model
• Reflect the full life cycle of standards
• Nurturing Strategic Technologies
• Incubate technologies that may become
  market-relevant standards
• Process Efficiency
• Streamlined process time to completion for the 4
  stages of standards development
• 1. time to initiation,
• 2. time to draft document creation,
• 3. ballot and resolution,
• 4. full life cycle support.
• The overall results will include faster time to
  completion.

• Education about Standards
• 1. Improve the understanding of standards
• 2. Speed the adoption of standards and standards
  related products
• 3. Increase global participation / acceptance and
  get more people involved in the process
• Global Participation and Perception
• Collaborate across world time zone for relevant
  standards
• Recognize and adopt/assimilate the best
