IEEE P1016 Working Group: Software Design Descriptions

Welcome!

This is the web site for the IEEE Working Group (WG) P1016, developing the revision to IEEE Std 1016-1998, Recommended Practice for Software Design Descriptions.

The goals for this revision are as follows:

  1. raise IEEE 1016 from a Recommended Practice to a full Standard;
  2. harmonize with design practices in Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK);
  3. eliminate any conflicts with ISO|IEEE|EIA 12207;
  4. harmonize with IEEE Std 1320.1 (IDEF0) and IEEE Std 1320.2 (IDEF1X); and
  5. address component-based design and other emerging approaches.
