IEEE-CS VP for Standards


Your Vitality measures

Discuss DASC best accomplishments• New/revised Par/Std increased over 2006 • Participate on IEEE-SA Standards Board• Participate on IEEE Council on EDA• Joint SA CAG sponsorship of Standards• IEEE-SA Sponsor 2007 Award for

outstanding contributions to corporate standards

• TC on Design Automation (TCDA) incl. DASC

– TCDA Purpose includes Standards– TCDA has roadmap & new technologies– Design standards processes at EDPS

conference• Consortia relationships including

specifications for IEEE standards and technology roadmap (SPIRIT)

• . . .

Your DASC areas to work?• Attended 1 of last 3 CS/SAB mtg• DASC Status Report – Out of date

September 2006• Appeals to IEEE-SA (2006)• Today’s meeting date not on web• TC on VLSI (TCVLSI) involvement?• Adoption of IEC standards?• . . .

• Companies conformance to DASC Standards?

– High coverage measurement in terms of market share

• Growth & worldwide diversity & IEEE memberships?


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

GOLD = Graduates Of the Last Decade


Society model for developing standards

SC are designed to use Society’s 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 interactions w/ Technical Committee(s)

• Validate the TC mapping TC for DA & VLSI• Validate the Conference mapping• Propose Contact with TC “Standards Champion” to:

– Add Standards Champion name to your web page organization chart

– Invitation for TC GOLD industry practitioners to join existing Standards Working Groups

– Review your current Projects and invitation to join Standards Balloting Groups

– Reveal your SC view of the technology road map and where your current & future PARs fit in

– Start up discussion forum on emerging technology and invitation for future Standards Study Groups

– Call for contributions for the future direction of these standards projects

– Ask for an speaking invitation for next relevant Conference


Your involvement with other CS Boards

• Conferences– Electronic Design Processes (EDP)– Design Automation and Test – Symposium on VLSI

• Publications– ?

• Chapters– ?

• Awards– ?


Your Standards Technology Roadmap• Benefits

– Interoperability Standards– Relevant Standards– Invitation for experts

• TC, Industry executives

– Awareness• Articles, white papers, conference BoF

– TCDA has roadmap & new technologies


Your Standards Technology Roadmap• Modeling framework with a set

of views which, when consistent and read together, defines a complete model of a system of users, technology, & Standards– Requirements view

– Information view

– Stakeholder view

– Process structure view

– Process content view

– Process behavioral view

– Process instance view

Examples• Semiconductors Roadmap (ITRS)

• Nanotechnology Standards Roadmap

• NIST Information Security document Roadmap

• ICT Security Standards Roadmap


Your Industry inputs / feedback for the SC

• IEEE-SA Corporate Advisory Group (CAG)– ?

• IEEE-CS Advanced Technology Executive Forum (ATEF)– ?


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

• Distinct Identity– Substantially different from other

standards– One unique solution per problem

(not two solutions to a problem)– Easy for the document reader to

select the relevant specification• Technical Feasibility

– Demonstrated system feasibility– Proven technology, reasonable

testing– Confidence in reliability

• Economic Feasibility– Known cost factors, reliable data– Reasonable cost for performance– Consideration of installation costs


Your experiences with IEEE standards groups

• Joint Sponsorship of Standardization Projects– Test Techologies?

• IEEE-SA CAG, – P1800, P1801, P1850, P1685, P1735,

• IEEE-SA SCC, – SCC20 Test and Diagnosis for Electronic Systems?

• IEEE Councils, – CEDA?


Your Relationships with your International Standards Development Organization (SDO)

• Validate the International SDO mapping– IEC TC 93 - Design Automation

• Fast track• Dual Logo• Adoption of IEC standards

• National TAG to ISO, IEC committees– ?

• Opportunities to use ISO/JTC1 PSDO– ?


Your Relationships with Consortia

• Joint memberships• Joint leaders such as established liaisons• Formal / MOU • IEEE-SA Corporate Advisory Group (CAG)

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
