Applications of information technology

A major factor limiting the interoperability of telepresence systems is the lack of a standardised way to describe and negotiate the use of the multiple streams of audio and video comprising the media flows.

The CLUE WG will create specifications for SIP-based conferencing systems to enable communication of information about media streams so that a sending system, receiving system, or intermediate system can make
reasonable decisions about transmitting, selecting, and rendering media streams. This enables systems to make choices that optimise user experience.

In the context of this WG, telepresence is used in a general manner to describe systems that provide high definition, high quality audio/video enabling a "being-there" experience.

The OSLC PROMCODE TC defines technical elements and guidelines for project management of Software Supply Chains. The OSLC PROMCODE TC will examine the work done by the PROMCODE consortium on exchanging project management information, and will modify/extend the work so that it fits the needs of the global community.
 
The OSLC PROMCODE TC will work to:

1. Define a model of project management information for SSC. A model should describe a minimum set of information and relationships commonly used by carriers and suppliers to manage software delivery.
2. Define a set of resources and their relationships following the OSLC framework as defined by the OSLC Core TC.
3. Create additional technical elements as required to support current and future scenarios for OSLC User Groups, OSLC MS-affiliated TCs, Subcommittees and the OSLC Member Section Steering Committee.
4. Leverage existing work, such as existing OSLC specifications, as much as possible. If gaps are identified, the OSLC PROMCODE TC will attempt to resolve them with other affiliated TCs prior to defining new concepts within PROMCODE.

The PROMCODE (Project Management of Contracted Delivery for Software Supply Chains) specifications advance a standard for exchanging project management information across organizational boundaries in support of Software Supply Chain (SSC) delivery. PROMCODE leverages other OSLC specifications which apply World Wide Web and Linked Data principles to enable products, services and other distributed network resources to interoperate successfully. TC members intend to request affiliation with the OASIS OSLC Member Section.
 
This TC is part of the OASIS OSLC Member Section. For more information on the OSLC PROMCODE TC, see the TC Charter.

The purpose of the OASIS Production Planning and Scheduling TC is to develop common object models and corresponding XML schemas for production planning and scheduling software, which can communicate with each other in order to establish collaborative planning and scheduling on intra and/or inter enterprises in manufacturing industries.

SOA End-to-End Resource Planning is a technology that optimizes deployment of services onto a SOA description of an application. The focus in EERP is on the characterization of the business characteristics of a service (called Business Quality of Service in the references listed under External Resources below), characterization and accessing the reputation of potential service providers, and Business Service-Level Agreements. See the EERP white paper approved by the committee for details and future direction.
 
The SOA-EERP Technical Committee will focus on enablers for optimization. The enablers are, for example, definitions of the framework for representing the business process service rating terms, such how to represent cost, time, value, etc. We define "optimization" as maximizing business value by enabling improved real-life eBusiness process and resource planning at both design time and run time. In particular,

• Resources are services performed by people, machines, and hardware/software applications, and represented by SOA services. Defining the qualities of such a business service will be done with metrics expressed as Business Quality of Service (BQoS). The nature of BQoS varies across industries and services.
• Business processes are optimized in order to reduce cost, improve efficiency, and otherwise improve business results. Extensions to Business Process Management Notation and execution environments such as WS-BPEL will facilitate process improvement through automatic optimization and evolution.

The OASIS Service Oriented Architecture Reference Model TC develops a reference model to encourage the continued growth of different and specialized SOA implementations whilst preserving a common layer of understanding about what SOA is.
 
The TC will:
 
-- deliver a Service Oriented Architecture Reference Model (SOA-RM) and, if it elects, ancillary materials as described under "purpose" above.
 
-- allow the commission of sub-committees to create specialized SOA models for vertical industries or technology families.
 
-- propose usage and implementation guidelines for creating specializations of the reference model, whether as a formal methodology or as best practice guidelines.

The SOA Repository Artifact Model and Protocol (S-RAMP) TC defines a common data model for SOA repositories as well as an interaction protocol to facilitate the use of common tooling and sharing of data. The TC will define an ATOM binding which documents the syntax for interaction with a compliant repository for create, read, update, delete and query operations.

ITU-T Study Group 9 (SG9) carries out studies on the use of telecommunication systems in the distribution of television and sound programs supporting advanced capabilities such as ultra-high definition and 3D TV. This work also covers the use of cable and hybrid networks – primarily designed for the distribution of television and sound programs to the home – as integrated broadband networks to provide interactive voice, video and data services, including Internet access.

Software is now ubiquitous and an extremely important element in almost any technology and technology based systems. The market demand for quickly produced, reliable yet easily modifiable, globally accessible yet managed and con-trolled software and systems is making a significant demand on the software and systems engineering community. Some of the biggest challenges of ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC7 are

• ISO/IEC/JTC 1/SC7 standards are often regarded as less relevant to these communities  
• ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC7 is unable to reach these communities and make the significance and relevance of their work known. If we are unable to respond with agility, the subcommittee is at significant risk of losing considerable impact, influence and relevance.

The ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC7 has considered the current market trends and to deal effectively with these needs, has embarked upon certain working group level initiatives as well as the creation of study groups.

SCC21 develops and coordinates new IEEE standards and maintains existing standards developed under past SCC21 projects.

In addition, SCC21 coordinates activities within its scope/purpose among IEEE societies.

The Auditorium Security Message (ASM) specification enables interoperable communication of security-critical information (information necessary to ensure security of D-Cinema content) between devices over an intra-theater exhibition network.

ISO/IEC 7816-3:2006 specifies the power and signal structures, and information exchange between an integrated circuit card and an interface device such as a terminal.

It also covers signal rates, voltage levels, current values, parity convention, operating procedure, transmission mechanisms and communication with the card. It does not cover information and instruction content, such as identification of issuers and users, services and limits, security features, journaling and instruction definitions.

This standard was last reviewed and confirmed in 2018. Therefore this version remains current.

ISO/IEC 14443-1:2018 defines the physical characteristics of proximity cards (PICCs).

ISO/IEC 14443-1:2018 is intended to be used in conjunction with other parts of ISO/IEC 14443.
