FYI, The SWEBOK (www.swebok.org) update project (which is working on v3 of the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge) is seeking public review comments - so far 3 chapters have become available for review:
computer.centraldesktop.com/swebokv3review/ The three chapters are: 1. Software Engineering Professional Practice (The study of professional practice includes the subareas of professionalism, group dynamics and psychology, and communication skills.) 2. Software Engineering Management, which can be defined as the application of management activities—planning, coordinating, measuring, monitoring, controlling, and reporting—to ensure that the development and maintenance of software is systematic, disciplined, and quantified. 3. Software Design - Design is defined ... as both “the process of defining the architecture, components, interfaces, and other characteristics of a system or component” and “the result of [that] process.” Viewed as a process, software design is the software engineering life cycle activity in which software requirements are analyzed in order to produce a description of the software’s internal structure that will serve as the basis for its construction. More precisely, a software design (the result) must describe the software architecture—that is, how software is decomposed and organized into components—and the interfaces between those components. It must also describe the components at a level of detail that enable their construction. One day, I would like to see a System Administration Body of Knowledge.

SWEBOK V3 is an update to the 2004 version of the SWEBOK Guide, which is also known as Technical Report ISO/IEC TR 19759. The 15 KAs in SWEBOK V3 are being published incrementally as they become available for review. The purposes of the SWEBOK Guide are: to characterize the contents of the software engineering discipline; to promote a consistent view of software engineering worldwide; to clarify the place of, and set the boundary of software engineering with respect to other disciplines; to provide a foundation for training materials and curriculum development; and to provide a basis for certification and licensing of software engineers. Three KAs now available for review are Software Design, Software Engineering Management; and Software Engineering Professional Practice. These KAs can be reviewed and comments can be submitted at: *computer.centraldesktop.com/swebokv3review/*<http://computer.centraldesktop.com/swebokv3review/> The review period for these KAs extends from *August 27 to September 28, 2012*. Resolution of submitted comments for all KAs will be displayed on the SWEBOK V3 Web site as they become available. All review comments, as well the names and countries of the reviewers providing the comments, will be made public. Email addresses, affiliations, and other identifying information of reviewers will not be made public. Present and potential reviewers will be notified when additional KAs become available for review. Each KA, when posted, will be available for review for 30 calendar days from the date of posting. For further information or help please contact Dick Fairley, chair of the SWEBOK V3 Change Control Board at [email protected].
