UK National Body activity report

August 2006 - July 2007

The UK participant committee for SC22 is BSI IST/005 Programming languages,
their environments and system software interfaces

Technical work

Almost all of the technical work of IST/005 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/005 on
matters such as letter ballots.

In addition the UK provides the secretariat and convenor for WG5 (Fortran)
and for WG19 (Formal Specification Languages) as well as the chair of the
Austin Joint Working Group (POSIX). The UK also provides the Project
Editors: for two parts of the Fortran Standard and for two of the Fortran
Technical Reports, for the standards for Pascal, Extended Pascal, Prolog,
VDM, Z and Extended BNF, for Technical Reports on Ada (two), C++ and POSIX.

The UK is active in, and maintains panels for - WG4 (COBOL), WG5 (Fortran),
WG9 (Ada), WG11 (Bindings), WG16 (Lisp), WG17 (Prolog), WG19 (Formal
Specification Languages) for both VDM-SL and for Z, WG21 (C++), and OWG
(Vulnerabilities). Other panels monitor Linux, C# and Common Language
Infrastructure (participating informally in the ECMA revision process). The
UK C panel is in the process of being reconstituted, but individuals from
the UK participate in the work of WG14.

Concerns

Active participation continues to be a concern to the UK, especially of
cross-language groups such as WG11.
