National Report

Germany:  DIN NI22

Chair:  Wolfgang Giere

NI22 has Mirroring groups for the following SC22 WGs

-    WG4 COBOL
-    WG5 Fortran
-    WG9 Ada
-    WG11 Binding Techniques (new)
-    WG13 Modula-2
-    WG15 POSIX
-    WG16 LISP
-    WG17 PROLOG
-    WG20 Internationalization (new)
-    WG21 C++
-    WG22 PCTE (terminated)
-    JSG

Membership and activities within the WGs is varies according to
commercial interest and international activities.  However, we note with
gratitude the possibility to participate (again de novo) in two WGS: 
11 and 30 inspite of lacking funds.

In addition there are three purely national activities:
-    PEARL: very active (will be presented at the plenary)
-    "Fachwoerterliste" a national thesaurus on IT-terms: slow progress
-    OO-examples for the different programming languages:  some progress

The DIN had to cut the funding drastically due to cuts in governmental
support.  However we still have a national plenary meeting twice per year
for 1.5 days:
-    29th session December 3-4, 1998 (following the Snekkersten SC22
     plenary)
-    30th session June 10-11, 1999
