...Working Group in the IEFT The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has an overall mission to make the internet work better and to run faster. The way that they accomplish this is by creating high quality and technical documents that are relevant to influence the way that people use, design and manage through the internet (Working Groups). Within the IETF, there are many different working groups. Working groups in the IETF have primary mechanisms so that the development of IETF and the specifications and guidelines have certain recommendations and standards (Working Groups). Working groups were created so that it can address and fix certain problems. Working groups usually do not last long because once it completes what it was out to do then they no longer are generally needed. There are many active working groups in the IETF. One of the working groups is called Applications Area Working Group (APPSAWG). This group was started in October of 2010. This group focuses on many different topics which might be the reason to why there group has been around for a few years. Some of the main points in which APPSAWG works on include Well-defined security issues that are relevant to multiple application technologies (APPSAWG). Another of the main points that APPSAWG focuses on according to Applications Area Working Group is “small-scale additions to the protocol stack for HTTP and other application technologies, mostly related to service discovery and meta-data”.

...created to work and write standards and are open to anyone to participate. They strive for broad representation of all interested parties and encourage global participation. IEEE standards have a comprehensive listing of working groups but not all have public viewable websites. I will focus on the Information Technology working group with the sub-directory of Software and Systems Engineering. The IEEE Computer Society is the largest association for computer professionals in the world and was founded more than 50 years ago. The Software and Systems Engineering Group/Committee mission is to develop and maintain a family of software and systems engineering standards that are relevant, coherent, comprehensive and effective in use. These standards are developed for use by practitioners, organizations, and educators to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their software engineering processes, and also to improve communications between acquirers and suppliers and the quality of delivered software and systems containing software. They also work to support and promote a Software Engineering Body of Knowledge, certification mechanisms for software engineering professionals, and other products contributing to the profession of software engineering. Justification of IEEE 802 standard used in networking Looking from the outside it looks simple to connect computers through networks. But with everything in life, there should be rules and standards to follow. One such set of...

...relating to his or her desired career. Other people may try to obtain an entry-level position in the same career field he or she chooses. The individual who chooses to get an entry-level job will gain experience working in that field. Another effective way to ensure career success is find an organization or association that contributes toward professional knowledge and abilities. Once an individual finds such an organization, he or she should subscribe to the company’s magazine or Website to be updated on current and future knowledge and abilities. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is such an organization that helps members in the IT field be more successful in his or her career. Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Any individual looking for a career in information technology should periodically check the IEEE Website or become a member of the IEEE. One can look to the American Heritage Dictionary (2006) to understand who the IEEE is “An international professional organization of engineers, scientists, and students dedicated to the advancement and regulation of technology related to electricity. The IEEE has developed and set many standards used in the computer, telecommunications, and electronics industries” (p. 159).

...IT3200 Scott Morrissette December 11, 2010 Enterprise Architecture Proposal Project: Revision Plans Every company has a set of capabilities that can be digitized to ensure reliability, high quality, low cost, and timeliness (A-G Magazine, 2008). Money Making Finance has long endured their IT department as the bottleneck rather than an asset. The company has done well over the years without integration; however, as the company continues to grow exponentially, all branches and departments require the need for integration. A coordination model calls for high levels of integration but little standardization of processes (Robertson, Ross, & Weill, 2006). Implementing a coordination model will allow the financial advisors at each branch the power to negotiate and customize their experiences with customers. The focal point of the EA implementation will be the integration of shared data and services by all branches and departments across the world. By focusing IT investments on enabling the integration and standardization required of the company’s operating model, a company prepares itself for future strategic initiatives, without knowing what those initiatives might be (Robertson, Ross, & Weill, 2006) The operating model that has been set forth for Money Making Finance is no doubtable an excellent decision. Other financial and insurance companies have benefited immensely operating their EAs as coordination models to include MetLife and TD BankNorth. Coordination allows companies...

...Products liability is a broad legal category covering everything from exploding gas tanks to flammable baby clothes to lead paint toys, to poisoned toothpaste and dog food. Legal risk for defective products can attach to manufacturers, assemblers, wholesalers, and retail distributors, depending on where in the chain of production and distribution a problem occurred that led to a consumer being harmed. Liability varies greatly by state and there is no federal or uniform law governing products liability. International standards also vary greatly. Legal claims for damages from defective products were originally based primarily on theories of negligence or breach of warranty. Increasingly, however, successful claims are made on the basis of strict liability. This means that liability is increasing. Where a strict liability theory is used, the injured consumer does not need to demonstrate that the manufacturer or some other person was negligent or that the product was unfit for the purpose for which it was sold. All the injured consumer in such cases needs to prove is that he or she was injured by the product. The seminal case is Greenman v. Yuba Power Products, Inc., 59 Cal.2d 57, 377 P.2d 897, 27 Cal.Rptr. 697 (1963), in which the Court stated that the 'purpose of such liability is to ensure that the costs of injuries resulting from defective products are borne by the manufacturers that put such products on the market rather than by the injured persons who are powerless to protect...

...Assignment 1 Standards Research Yvonne Mitchell Strayer University Summer 2015 Dr. Constance Blanson Communication Technologies Assignment 1: Standards Research Abstract Information technology is at the center of daily operations for millions of people around the world. Almost everyone uses at least one piece of technology in his or her everyday routine, whether it is a cell phone/smartphone, laptop computer, tablet, or other device. With that being said, standards are implemented to help regulate this technology so that it functions properly. By definition, a standard is a document that provides requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used consistently to certify that materials, products, processes and services are adequately fulfilling their purpose. This paper will answer the 4 questions/topics outlined in regards to standards research. Select one of the working groups in the IETF or IEEE and briefly summarize what this working group is working on. The IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) is in charge of developing voluntary Internet standards. These standards make up the TCP/IP Internet protocols. The working groups are organized into different areas: General, Applications, Real-time Applications and Infrastructure, Operations and Management, Routing, Security, and Transport. (Active IETF Working Groups) The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) focuses on the educational and technical advancement of electrical...

...carry out the actual development of new standards and protocols for the Internet. Membership in a working group is voluntary; any interested party may participate. During the development of a specification, a working group will make a draft version of the document available as an Internet Draft, which is placed in the IETF's "Internet Drafts" online directory. The document may remain as an Internet Draft for up to six months, and interested parties may review and comment on the draft. During that time, the IESG may approve publication of the draft as an RFC (Request for Comment). If the draft has not progressed to the status of an RFC during the six month period, it is withdrawn from the directory. The working group may subsequently publish a revised version of the draft.” (Stallings, p. B-5, 2009). “The IETF is responsible for publishing the RFCs, with approval of the IESG. The RFCs are the working notes of the Internet research and development community. A document in this series may be on essentially any topic related to computer communications and may be anything from a meeting report to the specification of a standard. The work of the IETF is divided into eight areas, each with an area director and each composed of numerous working groups.” (Stallings, p. B-5, 2009).

...Assignment 1: Standards Research CIS 505 Communication Technologies In the telecommunications industry standards are required to govern the physical, electrical, and procedural characteristics of communication equipment. Standards have a number of advantages and disadvantages. (Stallings, 2009). Standards are published documents that establish specifications and procedures designed to maximize the reliability of the materials, products, methods, and/or services people use every day. Standards address a range of issues, including but not limited to various protocols to help maximize product functionality and compatibility, facilitate interoperability and support consumer safety and public health. Standards form the fundamental building blocks for product development by establishing consistent protocols that can be universally understood and adopted. Standards also make it easier to understand and compare competing products. As standards are globally adopted and applied in many markets, they also fuel international trade. (IEEE, 2013). Working Groups develop and write standards per PAR approval. They strive for broad representation of all interested parties and encourage global participation. (IEEE, 2013). IEEE 1703-2012 is the standard for LAN/WAN node communication protocol to complement the utility industry end device data tables. This standard was developed and formed with ANSI (published as ANSI C12.22) and Measurement Canada (published as MC12.22) to improve...

...Measure are key elements to the DMAIC process as they define the purpose of the project the “characteristic for improvement” and the measure phase is the collection of the information for how the process currently works, how it is supposed to work at an optimal level, where the current breakdowns are and a summary of the baseline data. There are several sources of private standard-setting organizations available for health care workers and quality improvement personnel to access developed methods of performance measures. The National Quality Forum (NQF) by its own definition is “a private sector standard-setting organization whose efforts center on the evaluation and endorsement of standardized performance measurement” (National Quality Forum, 2014). The NQF provides a forum for standardized performance measures that can be shared between many health care organizations There is current debate about the necessity of developing the “Define” and “Measure” phases of the DMAIC for quality improvement projects. Some quality improvement professionals feel that the performance measures developed by organizations like the NQF have sufficient information embedded into their review process that development of the Define and Measure phases of the SSIM are now unnecessary. In my opinion, the NQF serves as an excellent resource for quality improvement professionals and clinicians to share information and clinical practice guidelines, but should not be...
