IEEE P1016 Working Group: Software Design Descriptions

Welcome!

This is the web site for the IEEE Working Group (WG) P1016, developing Standard for Information Technology—Systems Design—Software Design Descriptions, 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.

What's New?
