Japan National Activity Report to the Plenary Meeting of JTC 1/SC 22,
September 2006

1. National Activities for International Standardization in Japan
- SC 22 of Information Technology Standards Commission of Japan (ITSCJ) =
is
working as a Japanese National Committee for ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22. SC 22
meetings are held 6 times per year and some additional ad-hoc meetings =
are
held if necessary.
- There were eight working groups (COBOL WG, Fortran WG, Ada WG, C WG, =
Lisp
WG, Prolog WG, C++ WG, and Language Independent Issues WG). Discussion =
items
not covered by these working groups are handled by our SC22 itself, and =
if
necessary, temporarily formed ad hoc working groups.  Several JIS =
drafting
committees for language standards are formed in ITSCJ having close
relationship with our SC22. VDM/SL and Z are covered by another group
(Formal Description Technique Sub Working Group) in ITSCJ with close =
liaison
with our SC 22.
- Each group has been participating actively in the corresponding
international working group.
- Additional activities to be reported are as follows:

C# JIS Committee
- Upon the completion of the work on CLI JIS, we have formed again C# =
JIS
drafting committee to revise C# JIS corresponding to the revision of =
ISO/IEC
23270. Translation work is ongoing. We thank ECMA TC39 TG2 and TG3 for =
their
valuable help.

LISP WG
- In collaboration with SC22 WG16, this LISP WG created a draft revised
report of the ISLISP document ISO/IEC 13816:1997. This report has been
registered as a CD and is now under voting for FCD.

Prolog WG
We are working on a proposal so that Standard Prolog includes global
variables and arrays, which is to be discussed in WG17.

COBOL JIS Committee
- For ISO/IEC 1989:2002, - COBOL, the corresponding JIS (Japanese =
Industrial
Standards) draft is under refinement in terms of correctness of =
translation
and accuracy of the descriptions of standard development history.=20

Fortran JIS Committee
- Translation work of ISO/IEC 1539-1:2004 is ongoing.

2. Development of National Standards

Standards
(JISs). The current status of JISs in the area of SC 22 is as follows:=20
