It gives AFNOR's positions and casts the votes to the SC22, deals with the European parallel activities through the CEN/BTS7, and hosts within different working groups (CN22/GEx) the experts who work at national and/or international level. All CN22 groups now accept and welcome electronic distribution of documents. Current mirroring of JTC1/SC22 is as follows: SC22 CN22 . Mr Parquier (ILOG) SC22/JSG CN22/JAVA JAVA Mr Parquier (ILOG) SC22/WG5 CN22/GE5 FORTRAN Mr Lignelet (CNAM) SC22/WG9 CN22/GE9 ADA Mr Rosen (ADALOG) SC22/WG15 CN22/GE15 POSIX Mr Cornu (Consultant) SC22/WG16 CN22/GE16 LISP Mr Parquier (ILOG) SC22/WG20 CN22/GE20 I18N Mr Belhadj (BULL) SC22/WG21 CN22/GE21 C++ Mr Lextrait (ILOG) Non mirrored groups are addressed by CN22, except SC22/WG22 which is addressed by CN7/GE4. Below is a summary of activity during the passed year, ordered by WG. SC22/JSG Just after last SC22 plenary, the French mirror of JSG (CN22/JAVA) was created and managed to gather a broad variety of contributors. After the SMI proposed to become a PAS submiter the audience inflated to 70 members, including major IT suppliers. The group elaborated most of the French vote on SMI proposal. SC22/WG3 CN22/GE3 was disbanded. French experts are willing to contribute whenever SC22/WG3 resumes new work (e.g. J standardization or APL revision). SC22/WG4 No mirror group, CN22/GE4 COBOL remains disbanded, due to lack of interest from industry. SC22/WG5 CN22/GE5 FORTRAN met once, works by email. GE5 sent no delegate to WG5 meetings. Contributed to object-orientated Fortran, and to Fortran-C binding. Translation works are halted, including 1539-2. SC22/WG9 CN22/GE9 ADA is active. SC22/WG15 CN22/GE15 POSIX met every other month. Two are IEEE project editors. SC22/WG14 AFNOR has no mirror for WG14. SC22/WG16 AFNOR provides convernorship and secretariate of SC22/WG16. SC22/WG17 CN22/GE17 was disbanded. Experts might want to resume activity when "13211-1 Prolog General Core" is revisited. SC22/WG19 There is a growing interest in standardazing B. This may result in the creation of an FSL group at AFNOR later this year. SC22/WG20 No CN22/GE20 INTERNATIONALISATION delegates to WG20 meetings. Liaison with CN1 (mirror of SC1) on terminology. There is currently a French attempt to host JTC1's Workshop of Cultural Adaptability. SC22/WG21 CN22/GE21 C++ has a new chairman, Vincent Lextrait who incidentaly will host a WG21 meeting in 1998. The group and AFNOR thanks Nasser Kettani for supporting the group over the last two years. SC/WG22 CN22 has no mirror group for SC22/WG22, despite Mr. Minot's convenorship. For votes related to SC22/WG22, CN22 often relies on advice of CN7/GE4 (French mirror for SC7/WG4, CASE tools, secretary: Thierre Bergier, chairwoman: Elisabeth Walti). ________________ end of SC22 N2563 ________________________
