F. Wakker (Convener JTC 1/SC22 WG11) ACE Consulting bv De Ruyterkade 113 1011 AB, Amsterdam, Netherlands Email: willemw@ace.nl 1. MANAGEMENT SUMMARY: 1.1 JTC 1/SC22 WG11 Statement of Scope Development of ISO/IEC Standards and Technical Reports related to Binding Techniques and (Programming) Language Independent Issues. 1.2 Project Report 1.2.1 Completed Projects JTC1.22.14 -- TR 10182:1994 - Language Bindings Guidelines JTC1.22.17 -- ISO/IEC 11404:1996 - Language Independent Datatypes JTC1.22.16 -- ISO/IEC 13886:1996 - Language Independent Procedure Calling JTC1.22.28 -- ISO/IEC 10967-1:1994 - Language Independent Arithmetic, Part 1: Integer and Floating Point Arithmetic JTC1.22.33 -- ISO/IEC 10967-2:2001 - Language Independent Arithmetic, Part 2: Elementary Numerical Functions JTC1.22.46 -- TR 14369:1999 - Guidelines for the Preparation of Language Independent Service Specifications 1.2.2 Projects Underway JTC1.22.33 -- CD 10967-3 - Language Independent Arithmetic, Part 3: Complex Floating Point Arithmetic and Complex Elementary Numerical Functions The FCD 10967-3 ballot is currently underway (see document SC22 N3754) and closes on 2004-10-30. The revision of IEC 60559 (also known as IEEE 754, the floating-point standard) is closely followed to see whether this revision has consequences for the LIA documents. JTC1.22.17 -- ISO/IEC 11404:200x - General Purpose Datatypes ISO/IEC 11404 is under revision; the first CD of the revision (see document SC22 N3612) was registered and approved (see SC22 N3698). A road-map for this revision was distributed to SC22 as document N3620. The final CD is expected to be available by September 2004. It is remarkable that many organizations outside SC22 (like SC32 - Data management and Interchange, and the W3C consortium) are interested in this specification. 1.3 Cooperation and Competition The WG11 documents are mainly produced to be used by other programming language committees. Therefore, WG11 maintains liaisons with many of the SC22 WGs. In order to improve the usability of the WG11 documents, especially outside JTC1, it is beneficial to make these documents freely available. The WG11 Technical Reports 10182 and 14369, as well as ISO/IEC 11404:1996 and ISO/IEC 13886:1996 are freely available (via ITTF and via the WG11 website). Once ISO/IEC 10967-3 is finalized, WG11 will request for free availability of all parts of ISO/IEC 10967. 2. PERIOD REVIEW 2.1 Market Requirements There are no clearly defined market requirements for the WG11 projects; however several ISO/IEC standards make reference to the documents. There is thus apparently an indirect market requirement. 2.2 Achievements Despite the sometimes small participation in WG11, a number of high quality ISO standards have been produced. 2.3 Resources WG11 resources have been a problem for the past years, and continue to be so. Attendance is very low, and project editors are difficult to find. 3. FOCUS NEXT WORK PERIOD 3.1 Deliverables The FCD for LID and FDIS for LIA-3 should be prepared. 3.2 Strategies 3.2.1 Risks Participation is a clear risk for the progression of the WG11 work. The SC22 Member Bodies are invited to provide resources so that WG11 at least can finalize its current work items. 3.2.2 Opportunities No further opportunities have been identified. 3.2.3 Work Program Priorities The progression of LIA-3 and the revision of LID have the highest priority. 4. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION 4.1 WG11 Liaisons Liaisons exist with the following SC22 WGs: WG3 - APL, WG4 - COBOL, WG9 - Ada, WG14 - C and WG20 - Internationalization. Informal liaisons also exist with SC22/WG13 - Modula-2, SC22/WG19 - Formal Language Techniques, and SC2 - Characters. Mr. Frank Farance is acting liaison between SC32/WG2 and WG11 on issues related to the revision of ISO/IEC 11404. 5. SC22 PLENARY ACTIONS RELATED TO WG11 No actions requested.
