S142 u22 has a number of working groups, normally corresponding to a SC22 WG. Some coordination within Denmark has also been done, notably to the SC2 and SC7 areas. About 20 experts are involved in u22 and its WGs. Denmark is active in a number of SC22 WGs, including WG11 - bindings, WG14 - C, WG15 - POSIX, WG17 - Prolog, WG19 - VDM-SL, WG20 - internationalization, WG21 C++, WG22 - PCTE and the JSG - Java Study Group. DS has sponsored via the DKUUG organization a number of web pages for SC22 and the WGs: WG9 - Ada, WG11 - bindings, WG14 - C, WG15 - POSIX, WG20 - internationalization, WG22 - PCTE as well as a prototype web page WG99, and are currently preparing pages for WG4 - COBOL and WG21 - C++. DKUUG is also involved in email distribution for SC22 and a number of its WGs, and also document distribution for SC22. DS takes no responsibilities for the services provided by DKUUG. DS has intiated fast-tracking DS/ENV 12005, "Procedures for European registration of cultural elements", after recommendation from SC22/WG20 and CEN/TC304. DS is prepared to host the SC22 plenary in 1998. Overview of DS activities in SC22 SC22 participation makes up for a significant part of the activities of DS S142 u22. DS has in the preceeding year been active in a number of WGs of SC22: We are not participating in WG3 - APL. We are commenting on certain aspects of the WG4 - COBOL work, including SQL interface and internationalization support. WG11 - bindings - has had growing interest, especially in the Language Independent Services area. WG14 - C - is a WG we have participated in for a long time. We are here active in the revision of the C standard, especially with regards to internationalization and character set support, alignment with POSIX internationalization, and a proposal to support hardware IO. We will be hosting a WG14 meeting in June 1998. WG15 - POSIX - has seen much Danish input, and further input will be generated for the forthcoming meetings. We are looking into special Danish efforts on the internationalization and Language Independent specification areas. WG17 - Prolog - has substantial participation from DS. WG19 - VDM has substantial active particpation from DS. WG20 - internationalization - has seen a substantial level of activities from DS. WG21 - C++ - has some active participation from DS especially on the internationalization aspects. WG22 - has active participation from DS via correspondence. JSG - has had DS participation via correspondence. End of report. ___________________ end of SC22 N2564 _______________________________
