Document Number: ISO⁄IEC 15288 Title: Systems engineering - System life cycle processes
Date: 01-Nov-2002
 ISO⁄IEC 15288-System Life Cycle Processes is the first ISO standard to deal with system life-cycle processes; hardware, software and human interfaces. This ISO⁄IEC standard was published in October 2002. The framework of this standard encompasses the life cycle of man-made systems, spanning the conception of the ideas through to the retirement of the system. It provides the processes for acquiring and supplying system products and services that are configured from one or more of the following types of system components: hardware, software, and human interfaces. This framework also provides for the assessment and improvement of the project life cycle. The processes in this international standard form a comprehensive set from which an organization may construct life cycle models appropriate to the product, service types, and markets in which they trade. An organization, depending upon its purpose, may select and apply an appropriate subset to fulfill that purpose.This international standard may be used in several ways. An organization might use the standard to establish an environment of desired processes that can be supported by an infrastructure of trained personnel, utilizing specific methods, procedures, techniques and tools. This environment would be employed by the organization to manage its projects and to facilitate progress through the life cycle stages.

A project, within an organization, might use this standard to select, structure, employ and perform the elements of the established environment to provide products and services. The standard may also be used, via contract or agreement within the supplier⁄acquirer relationship, to select, agree on, and perform the processes and activities called out in the standard. Additionally, this mode may also be used to assess conformance of the acquirer's and supplier’s performances with the agreement. This system life cycle process standard will be an immensely valuable aid in the design and maintenance of higher quality, more efficient systems!

 Document Number: ISO⁄IEC 19760 Title: System Engineering – A Guide for the Application of ISO⁄IEC 15288 System Life Cycle Processes Edition: 3 Date: 15-Nov-2003  ISO⁄IEC 19760 is a technical report intended to:

• Be used as a companion document to ISO⁄IEC 15288 - System Life Cycle Processes
• Give guidelines for the application of the International Standard.

          The Guide is applicable to large and small systems, systems requiring large and small project teams, and new and legacy systems. The Guide includes:          

• Link to other ISO documents that support the implementation of the International Standard and to assess its effectiveness of implementation.

The Guide is useful to those who:

• Implement the International Standard.
• Use the International Standard for a specific system
• Prepare organization and specific domain standards based on the International Standard.

Specific applications can be tailored as appropriate to the system size, project staffing or system type. Tailoring guidance is provided in both Annex A of the International Standard and Clause 4.4 of the Technical Report. The Guide does not and is not intended to provide the rationale for the requirements of the International Standard.     Document Number: ISO 9241Title: ErgonomicsDate:  

ISO 9241 Subject description

Part 1: General Introduction contains general information about the standard and provides an overview of each of the parts.
Part 2: Task Requirements discusses the enhancement of user interface efficiency and the well being of users by applying practical ergonomic knowledge to the design of VDT wok tasks.
Part 3: Display Requirements specifies requirements for visual displays and their images.
Part4: Keyboard Requirements specifies the characteristics that determine the effectiveness in accepting keystrokes from a user.
Part 5:Workstation Requirements specifies the design characteristics of workplaces in which VDTs are used.
Part 6: Environmental Requirements specifies characteristics of the working environment in which VDTs are used.
Part 7: Display requirements with reflections describe how to maintain usable and acceptable VDT image quality by evaluating the reflection properties of a screen and the image quality of the screen over a range of typical office lighting conditions.
Part 8: Requirements for displayed color states specifications for display color images, color measurement metrics, and visual perception tests.
Part 9: Requirements for non-keyboard input devices specifies requirements for the design and usability of input devices other than keyboards.
Part 10: Dialogue Principles specifies a set of high-level dialogue design principles for command languages, direct manipulation, and form-based entries.
Part 11: Guidance on Usability explains the way in which the user, equipment, task, and environment should be described-as part of the total system-and how usability can be specified and evaluated.
Part 12: Presentation of Information specifies requirements for the coding and formatting of information on computer screens.
Part 13: User Guidance specifies requirements and attributes to be considered in the design and evaluation of the software user interfaces.
Part 14: Menu Dialogues provides conditional requirements and recommendations for menus in user-computer dialogues.
Part 15: Command Dialogues provides conditional recommendations for common languages.
Part 16: Direct Manipulation Dialogues provides guidance on the design of manipulation dialogues in which the user directly acts upon object or object representations (icons) to be manipulated.
