International Scientific Organizations
ACM - Association for Computer Machinery
The Association for Computing Machinery, or ACM, was founded in 1947 as the world's
first scientific and educational computing society. Its membership is currently around
78,000. Its headquarters are in New York City. CM is organized into over 170 local
chapters and 34 special interest groups (SIGs), through which it conducts most of its
activities. Additionally, there are over 500 college and university chapters.

IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE (pronounced as
eye-triple-e) is an international non-profit, professional organization for the
advancement of technology related to electricity. It has the most members of any
technical professional organization in the world, with more than 360,000 members in
around 175 countries. IEEE produces 30 percent of the world's literature in the
electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields, and has developed
more than 900 active industry standards. It also sponsors or cosponsors more than 300
international technical conferences each year. The IEEE consists of 39 societies,
organized around specialized technical fields, with more than 300 local organizations
that hold regular meetings. The IEEE publishes an extensive range of peer-reviewed
journals, and is a major international standards body (nearly 900 active standards with
700 under development).

Where Should The Industry Improve?
11 http://www.intspei.com
For large software development
projects, the most important
decisions and the most
expensive mistakes are done at
the beginning of the project

At the same time, the initial
amount of quality control is
minimal and then grows as
development moves forward.
This results in a costly rework
(often hidden) on the late stages
of the project
