Society of Cable Telecom Engineers
SCTE is dedicated to supporting the Cable Telecommunications Engineers through professional resources, standards and certifications The SCTE DOCSIS standards are being reviewed by ANSI and cover all aspects of digital transmission of data and multimedia over cable.[edit]
USB Implementers Forum
The USB Implementers Forum. is a non-profit corporation founded by the companies that developed the USB specification (Microsoft, Philips, Intel, HP, NEC, etc). The organization grants companies' certified products the right to bear the USB-IF logo. It offers a directory of certified USB-compliant products.== IEEE1394 Trade Association The IEEE1394 Trade Association regroups the companies promoting the Firewire (IEE1394) standard. It assesses products for compliance to the standard. It grants compliant products the right to bear the 1394 Compliant Logo and offers a directory of compliant products. Various white papers, articles, industry news and other resources related to the 1394 standard are available

The PCI and related standards SIG
PICMG is a consortium of several hundreds companies who develop open specifications, around the PCI standard, for high-availability and high-performance applications in the telecommunication industry and various industrial fields. PICMG was founded in 1994, with the mission to extend the PCI standard applicability in non-traditional computer markets like Industrial Automation, Medical, Military and Telecom. PICMG issued a series of specifications that include CompactPCI®, AdvancedTCA®, AdvancedMC™, CompactPCI Express™, COM Express™ and SHB Express™, which also cover recent advances technological with fabric-switching transports.[edit]
The Special Interest Group (SIG) for Open standards and interoperability
The Open Group is a consortium, whose vision of Boundaryless Information Flow™ will seamless intra- and inter- Enterprise Application Integration and Interoperability based on open standards. The Group brings together large corporations, both on the buy- and on the supply- side, offering them the right framework to exchange information and shape the future of Information Technology. The Group manages a certification program, both for professionals (e.g. IT Architect Certification) and for products (e.g. COE Platform, LDAP, etc).[edit]
Canada Advanced Internet Development Organization
Canada's Advanced Internet Development Organization is a not-for-profit corporation supported by members, partners and the Federal Government. Its mission is to accelerate Canada's Internet development and use, the adoption of advanced networks technologies and the evolution of the next generation of advanced products, applications and services for Internet. Canarie has some corporate sponsors among the large networking equipment vendors and promotes research and development projects in universities like UCLPv2 [15].[edit]
Electronic Design Automation Working Groups
The two groups are the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) and they are both dedicated to the automation of design and verification in the following fields- Hardware design, modeling and verification, based on VHDL and Verilog specifications and toolsets
- System-level design, based on Rosetta-SLDL [16] and other standards
[edit]
The Globus Alliance for the Grid Technology
The Globus Alliance is a professional and business community developing fundamental technologies enabled by the "Grid Computing" paradigm. A Grid enables secure sharing of computing power, databases, and on-line resources across corporate, institutional, and geographic boundaries. The market for Grid Computing products, although still small (US$500M) but growing at rapid pace. The Globus Alliance is member of the Global Grid Forum (GGF) [17] which defines the Open Grid Services Architecture [18] framework. Among the corporate sponsors, the Globus Alliance has the support of IBM Corporation, Microsoft Research [19] and Cisco Systems Corporation [20][edit]
SDL (Specification and Description Language ) SIG
The Specification and Description Language was standardized in 1987 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Recommendation Z.100. Various ITU telecommunication standards are using SDL to describe protocol exchanges. SDL it also being applied to a diverse number of other engineering areas like aircraft, train control, medical and packaging systems to describe stateful systems behaviour in response to stimuli, through Extended State Machines. The initial version of the Cisco Call Manager was developed by Selsius for a HP-UX platform using the SDL-88 [21] programming language. The Cisco Call Manager call-processing engine as well as the inter-cluster synchronization protocol are based on state-machines modeled with SDL.[edit]
Microkernel architecture SIG
Microkernels are minimal and highly flexible kernels. The work was started in the early 90's, without much success and, although promising, the microkernel approach did not make it yet to the market. The most promising microkernel research projects are based on the L4 micro-kernel API. Some of these projects are sponsored [22] by Ericsson and National ICT Australia [23].[edit]
Information Technology EXpert community forum
Experts Exchange is a community of IS-IT experts in various fields and of IS-IT users in search for solutions and advice. This concept of knowledge sharing system, where experts compete and collaborate with each other while solving other member's problems, is patented. The Experts Exchange knowledge base has already almost 2 million solutions. To qualify as an expert, a professional in one or more of the 200 topic areas, needs to accumulate points, earned by answering questions. There are honor levels for experts based on the point system.[edit]
