- Conference on Conformance Testing and
- Common Feature Sets for
- ISO/IEC DIS 13346 (ECMA 167)
- February 11-12, 1993
-
- ISO/IEC DIS 13346 is a proposed ISO standard that defines volume
- and boot block recognition, volume structure, file structure and
- record structure for rewritable and write-once random-access
- media. Already declared a standard by the European Computer
- Manufacturers Association (ECMA), and submitted to ISO for
- consideration as an International Standard in November, it is
- expected to be an important interchange format for optical media.
-
- While national and international bodies have carefully defined the
- format, some activities to ensure interchangability among vendors
- supporting the standard remain. Among those are the development of
- test and certification suites and agreement on how DIS 13346
- implementation use and domain fields should be used to support
- popular operating systems. Clearly, progress towards making this
- standard more appealing will be served if interested companies and
- individuals can find ways to cooperate in these areas. Presuming
- there is agreement on some sharing of data, a protocol for the
- distribution of information will also need to be agreed upon.
-
- The Marketing Department of the Greeley Storage Division of
- Hewlett Packard is pleased to host a meeting to discuss these
- issues February 11 and 12th, 1992 at the HP site in Greeley,
- Colorado. Accommodations will be with the Marriot Hotel in Ft.
- Collins (details are attached to this announcement). All companies
- and individuals interested in this standard and these issues are
- invited to attend. Because of space limits, parties are asked to
- limit their participation to one person.
-
- A draft agenda accompanies this announcement. You are encouraged
- to provide contributions in advance of the meeting. Please come
- prepared to present any specific ideas you would like to see
- discussed. Overhead projectors, slide projectors and whiteboards
- will be available.
-
