Technical professional association IEEE, US, has announced dozens of new, revised and reaffirmed standards and standards-development projects.
Among the new standards that have been published is IEEE 11073-30200a - Standard for Health Informatics - Point-of-Care Medical Device Communication - Part 30200: Transport Profile - Cable Connected - Amendment 1. This extends the IEEE 11073-30200 base standard for medical-device communications to include IEEE 802.3 100BASE-T and analysis of compatibility of cable connections between IEEE 11073-30200 and IEEE 802.3.
IEEE 11073-30200 communications services and protocols are designed to be optimised for use in patient-connected, bedside medical devices. It is available for purchase at the IEEE Standards Store.
Newly published revised standards include IEEE 1647 - Standard for the Functional Verification Language e. The standard contains a definition of the 'e' application-specific programming language syntax and semantics and describes how it might be used in automating the task of verifying a hardware or software design with respect to its specification. IEEE 1647 is available for purchase at the IEEE Standards Store.
IEEE-SA also reaffirmed standards, including IEEE 1547.1-2005 - IEEE Standard for Conformance Tests Procedures for Equipment Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems. The Smart Grid standard specifies the type, production and commissioning tests that might be performed to demonstrate that the interconnection functions and equipment of distributed resources conform to IEEE 1547 - IEEE Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems. IEEE 1547.1 is available for purchase at the IEEE Standards Store.
Among the standards-development projects that IEEE-SA approved are IEEE P1888.1 - Standard for a Ubiquitous Community Network: Control and Management; IEEE P1888.2 - Standard for Ubiquitous Green Community Control Network: Heterogeneous Networks Convergence and Scalability; and IEEE P1888.3 - Standard for Ubiquitous Green Community Control Network: Security.
All three standards projects are based on the protocols described in IEEE 1888 - IEEE Standard for Ubiquitous Green Community Control Network Protocol. IEEE P1888.1 is designed to describe the network gateway central access control and management policy through the extension of the existing interface protocol, message format and interactive processing in a ubiquitous green community network. IEEE P1888.2 is intended to extend the object definitions, message formats and communication protocols. IEEE P1888.3 is planned to describe security requirements for the ubiquitous green community control network and specify the system security architecture, procedures and protocols.
Detailed information on the standards and projects recently approved by the IEEE Standards Association Standards Board is available on the 2011 Board Approval webpage.
