Tools and Processes for Software.
An Experimental Seminar on Large Scale Software Construction.

Carl Cargill (sunsoft) on Standards

A wide ranging discussion, introduced many terms.
Material handed out from recent, recommended book: Martin Libicki: Information Technology Standards; Digital Press, 1995. See also review by Gio.

Topics:

Anticipatory standards.
Untary Standards: typically physical.
Optional standards

Complecity of U.S. standards setting process, ANSI on top. U.S Dep. of State as official represenative to International groups. Many Standards setting efforts below.

Software quality process standard, ISO9000, started in Great Britain. Lack of trust put an inspection program in place. Replaced for Motorola the high quality 6Sigma program, dropped quality. Being replaced by ISO 14000
Costly to devolop:
Microsoft depends on floppy, CDROM, Intel processor, source code management. Soon 27000 APIs for windows being raleased by a bunch of competitors as {Sun, ...}
