SAB-TAB Map Jack Cole msstc.org/cole Chair of {IASC, TFIA} TAB Liaison to IEEE USA CCIP

March 10, 2005Slide 2 Outline (1/2)  Do What?  Achieve What?  How?  “Resonance Groups”  SAB “Organization”  TAB “Organization  Background

March 10, 2005Slide 3 Outline (2/2)  Simple Map Impossible  List of SCs  List of TCs  Examples of Related TCs  Examples of SC Overlaps  IASC Projects Mapped to TCs  Web Links

March 10, 2005Slide 4 Do What?  Offer Cross Linking of Present Stove-Piped Organization  Map Collaborations CS TAB to SAB SAB-TAB to other CS Boards CS to other IEEE Entities CS to Non-IEEE Entities  SCs, TCs, Other Organizational Entities Connected by Collaboration Participation Purely Voluntary Core Functions Remain Completely Unchanged

March 10, 2005Slide 5 Achieve What?  More Effective Application of “Products”, “Tools” to Bear to Advance IT Conferences & Workshops Standards Publications Public Policy  Bring Communities of Technologists (Back) Together  Imperfect Mapping, But Increased Awareness Increased Interaction

March 10, 2005Slide 6 How? (1/2)  Prime Pump by SAB, TAB Initially Publishing to Each Other List of Current Standards Projects and Web Sites List of Current Conferences, Workshops and Web Sites Charters of Committees and Their Web Sites Descriptions of Collaborations with Others  Provide Regular, Periodic Updates to Each Other  Form Outreach Subcommittees at SC, TC Level to Meet with Corresponding Members of SAB and TAB  Resulting Meetings of SAB, TAB Members Called a “Resonance Group” or “Glue Committee” WAIT FOR LATER SLIDE

March 10, 2005Slide 7 How? (2/2)  TAB Expose Standards at Events When Possible Presentations, Sessions, Short Papers, Posters, Round Tables Recruit Standards Working Group (WG) Members, Balloters  SAB When Possible Co-Locate WG Meetings at TAB Events Increasing Participation for WGs and TAB Events Encourage WG Member Participation in TAB Events Seek TAB Technical Opinions for Ongoing Standards Projects Seek TAB Advice on Directions, Needs (Or Not!) for Standards

March 10, 2005Slide 8 ‘Resonance Groups’ (1/2)  Voluntary, Non-Binding  Possibility: Encourage, Recognize Participation in Charters, Policies, Procedures of TCs and SCs  Only TCs Sponsor Workshops, Conferences, Similar Events  Only SCs Sponsor Standards Projects

March 10, 2005Slide 9 ‘Resonance Groups’ (2/2)  Mutual Consent of SCs and TCs Involved To Hold Meetings, Take Action  Bring Together More Than Just TCs and SCs Example: Joint Policy Statements to U.S. Congress Developed Through IEEE USA

March 10, 2005Slide 10 SAB “Organization”  SAB – Standards Activity Board Sponsors Some Standards Projects Directly Sponsors SCs (SCs) Sponsors Study Groups (SGs), Like TFs for TAB  SCs Sponsor Most Projects  Some Projects Sponsored by IEEE Standards Coordinating Committees (SCCs)  IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA)  IEEE Industry Standards & Technology Organization (IEEE ISTO)

March 10, 2005Slide 11 TAB “Organization”  TAB – Technical Activities Board  TC – Technical Committee  TF – Task Force Initial Form of a TC Formed to See if Enough Mass, Momentum Like the SAB Study Group (SG)  TSC – Technical Steering Committee Just One

March 10, 2005Slide 12 Background  TCs Once Governed SCs Parent-Child Relationship Ended Decade Ago Unintended Consequence: Divorce of Communities of Technologists  Current Strong Relationships, Examples TCMS (MSSTC) – SSSC (storage) TCMM – MMSC (micro-computer,-processor) TCSE – SSESC (software, systems engineering)

March 10, 2005Slide 13 Simple Map Impossible  Ten SCs SCs Have Many Subcommittees Subcommittees Equate to Projects  No Current SGs  Thirty-Six TCs  Three TFs  Overlap Among TCs and Among SCs
