Technical work Almost all of the technical work of IST/5 is in relation to SC22 projects, and it maintains technical panels which co-ordinate the UK contribution to the SC22 WGs in which the UK is active. These panels advise IST/5 on matters such as letter ballots. In addition the UK provides the secretariat and convenor for WG5 (Fortran) and also WG19 (Formal Specification Languages). The UK also provides the Project Editors for the two Fortran Technical reports and part of the Fortran Standard, Pascal, PCTE, Prolog, VDM, Z and Extended BNF as well as the Lead Rapporteur for WG15's Rapporteur Group on Revising POSIX. The UK is active in, and maintain panels for - WG4 (COBOL), WG5 (Fortran), WG9 (Ada), WG11 (Bindings), WG14 (C), WG15 (POSIX), WG16 (Lisp), WG19 (Formal Specification Languages) for both VDM-SL and for Z, WG 20 (Internationalisation) and WG21 (C++). The Java panel is no longer active. In the past year the UK has hosted meetings for SC22/WG5 (Fortran) and SC22/WG19 (Formal Specification Languages). Concerns Active participation continues to be a concern to the UK, especially of cross-language groups such as WG11 and WG20. The situation with regard to the revised BSI membership scheme has now stabilised and no further loss of panels or members is now expected. Working Group Convenors The UK is pleased to support the appointment of Roger Scowen as Convenor of WG19 (Formal Specification Languages) and also as Project Editor for Extended BNF.
