I have recently heard that there is an ISO working group looking at the area of protocols for time critical (i.e. real-time) applications. Can anyone provide some information as to what this group is doing and what the status is of any documents produced to date? If anyone knows how to contact the chair for this group I would appreciate it. I would also like to know if there is a similar group examining the issue of network survivability. Thank you Larry Levin levin@itstd.sri.com Information Systems-Engineering Center SRI International

Hello Larry, The group in question is the "TCCA rapporteurs' group of ISO/TC184/SC5/WG2 on time critical communications architecture and systems" of which I am a member. The group has only recently become "part" of the OAISI system and we currently have a draft report (for private circulation at the moment, however). The chairperson is Dr. Kate Grant of Ninetiles Ltd, a company based near Cambridge in the UK. I hope this helps. Ivan Izikowitz The Institute for Industrial Information Technology Limited Swansea UK
