Problem statement: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published a set of international standards related to the software engineering, such as ISO 12207 and ISO 9126. However, there is a set of cross-references between the two standards. Approach: The ISO 9126 on software product quality and ISO 12207 on software life cycle processes had been analyzed to invistigate the rel...

The College of American Pathologists (CAP) offers a suite of laboratory accreditation programs, including one specific to accreditation to the international organization for standardization (ISO) 15189 standard for quality management specific to medical laboratories. CAP leaders offer an overview of ISO 15189 including its components, internal audits, occurrence management, document control, an...

This paper describes initial studies in the context of a new effort within ISO to design an international standard for the annotation of discourse with semantic relations that are important for its coherence, “discourse relations”. This effort takes the Penn Discourse Treebank (PDTB) as its starting point, and applies a methodology for defining semantic annotation languages which distinguishes ...

This paper presents performance comparisons of the ISO/IEC 18033 standard block ciphers, AES, Camellia, SEED, TDEA, MISTY1, and CAST-128 in ASIC hardware. All the algorithms are implemented with a loop architecture where one round function block is used iteratively, and Sboxes are generated from lookup tables. In addition to the straightforward implementations, compact data path architectures w...

This paper describes an ISO project developing an international standard for annotating dialogue with semantic information, in particular concerning the communicative functions of the utterances, the kind of content they address, and the dependency relations to what was said and done earlier in the dialogue. The project, registered as ISO 24617-2 Semantic annotation framework, Part 2: Dialogue ...

Part 1 of the ISO Prolog standard (ISO/IEC 13211) published in 1995 covers the core of Prolog, including syntax, operational semantics, streams and some built-in predicates. Libraries, DCGs, and global mutables are current standardization topics. Most Prolog implementations provide an ISO mode in which they adhere to the standard. Our goal is to improve parts of the Prolog standard already publ...

The ability to generate an NC tool path is now common place in CAD/CAM systems, but the technology used for programming and control of NC machines is still based on 1950’s standards. Today under the IMS project called STEP-NC in Europe and Asia, and Super Model in USA, industrialists and academics are collaborating to deliver a new data model as an ISO 14649 standard for CNC machines. This stan...

This paper integrates a stakeholder perspective into the resource-based view of the firm, to analyze the mechanisms that link the adoption of the international Environmental Management Standard ISO 14001 to firms’ competitive advantage. This paper shows that the perceived competitiveness impact of the standard depends mostly on the involvement of firms’ external stakeholders (distributors, cust...
