Ada has long been touted as the standard language for software engineering. However, the corpus of software engineering standards is completely distinct from Ada and is developed and maintained by distinct standards organizations. This presentation will survey the software engineering standards of the two major providers, IEEE and ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7. The presentation will describe the scope of the standards, their status, and the process by which they are created. Opportunities for participation will also be described.
