Working group

This subcommittee of SCC20 is responsible for the Artificial Intelligence Exchange and Service Tie to All Test Environments (AI-ESTATE) standard, the Testability and Diagnosability Characteristics and Metrics standard, and the Software Interface to Maintenance Information Collection and Analysis (SIMICA).

The common theme through all of the DMC standards is to provide formal specifications to support exchange and analysis of information in system test and diagnosis.

The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee develops and maintains networking standards and recommended practices for local, metropolitan, and other area networks, using an open and accredited process, and advocates them on a global basis. The most widely used standards are for Ethernet, Bridging and Virtual Bridged LANs Wireless LAN, Wireless PAN, Wireless MAN, Wireless Coexistence, Media Independent Handover Services, and Wireless RAN. An individual Working Group provides the focus for each area.

1. Serve as the focus of and proponent for JTC 1's Smart Cities standardization program.
2. Develop foundational standards for the use of ICT in Smart Cities - including the Smart City ICT Reference Framework and an Upper Level Ontology for Smart Cities - for guiding Smart Cities efforts throughout JTC 1 upon which other standards can be developed.
3. Develop a set of ICT related indicators for Smart Cities in collaboration with ISO/TC 268.
4. Develop additional Smart Cities’ standards and other deliverables that build on these foundational standards.
5. Identify JTC 1 (and other organization) subgroups that are developing standards and related material that contribute to Smart Cities, and where appropriate, investigate ongoing and potential new work that contributes to Smart Cities.
6. Develop and maintain liaisons with all relevant JTC 1 subgroups.
7. Engage with the community outside of JTC 1 to grow the awareness of, and encourage engagement in, JTC 1 Smart Cities standardization efforts within JTC 1, forming liaisons as is needed.
8. Ensure a strong relationship with Smart Cities activities in ISO and IEC

The development of standards for the protection of information and ICT. This includes generic methods, techniques and guidelines to address both security and privacy aspects, such as:

• Security requirements capture methodology;
• Management of information and ICT security; in particular information security management systems (ISMS), security processes, security controls and services;
• Cryptographic and other security mechanisms, including but not limited to mechanisms for protecting the accountability, availability, integrity and confidentiality of information;
• Security management support documentation including terminology, guidelines as well as procedures for the registration of security components;
• Security aspects of identity management, biometrics and privacy;
• Conformance assessment, accreditation and auditing requirements in the area of information security;
• Security evaluation criteria and methodology.

SC 27 engages in active liaison and collaboration with appropriate bodies to ensure the proper development and application of SC 27 standards and technical reports in relevant areas.

Since SC6 was established in 1964, SC6 has worked on standardization in the field of telecommunications dealing with the exchange of information between open systems, including system functions, procedures, parameters as well as the conditions for their use. This standardization encompasses protocols and services of lower layers including physical, data link, network, and transport as well as those of upper layers including but not limited to Directory and ASN.1: MFAN, NFC, PLC, Future Networks and OID. A considerable part of the work also has been done in effective cooperation with ITU-T SG’s and other standardization bodies, including IEEE 802, ECMA International, and NFC Forum. SC6 is responsible for 353 published International Standards and 35 open project items.

Recently SC6 approved new work items on Future Network Architecture and its Protocols and Mechanisms which would support emerging services and applications beyond the limitations of the current networks

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.

SC 17 continues to deliver card standards that are ubiquitous in their use by the worldwide cards industry. Perhaps the biggest issue facing the cards world and particularly payments cards, is the need to expand the Issuer Identification Numbering scheme (IINs) from its present 6-digit IIN to an 8-digit IIN going forward. Support from ISO to spread the word in this regard would be very much appreciated by the experts in SC17.

Standardization in the area of:

• Identification and related documents
• Cards
• Security devices and tokens

and interface associated with their use in inter-industry applications and international interchange

​Study Group 2 is home to Recommendation ITU-T E.164, the numbering standard which has played a central role in shaping the telecom networks of today. ITU-T E.164 provides the structure and functionality of telephone numbers, and without it we would not be able to communicate internationally. In recent years SG2 has worked on ENUM, an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) protocol for entering E.164 numbers into the Internet domain name system (DNS).

An equally important product of SG2 is Recommendation ITU-T E.212 which describes a system to identify mobile devices as they move from network to network. International mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) is a critical part of the modern mobile telecoms system, allowing the identification of a roaming mobile terminal in a foreign network and subsequently the querying of the home network for subscription and billing information.

ITU-T Study Group 12 is the expert group responsible for the development of international standards (ITU-T Recommendations) on performance, quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE). This work spans the full spectrum of terminals, networks and services, ranging from speech over fixed circuit-switched networks to multimedia applications over mobile and packet-based networks.

ITU-T Study Group 5 (SG5) is responsible for studies on methodologies for evaluating ICT effects on climate change and publishing guidelines for using ICTs in an eco-friendly way. Under its environmental mandate SG5 is also responsible for studying design methodologies to reduce ICTs and e-waste's adverse environmental effects, for example, through recycling of ICT facilities and equipment.

Prepare a standard for the lower layers for uni and bi-directional meters data exchange by radio frequency communication. (see resolutions 2& 3/1999).

Produce and maintain standards for meter data exchange protocols, for use over short range wireless networks with meshing functionality. Note: Work will be based on existing ZigBee specifications.
