Architecture Working Group - IEEE
This Standard specifies a high level architecture for information technology-supported learning, education, and training systems that describes the high-level system design and the components of these systems. This Standard covers a wide range of systems, commonly known as learning technology, education and training technology, computer-based training, computer assisted instruction, intelligent tutoring, metadata, etc.. This Standard is pedagogically neutral, content-neutral, culturally neutral, and platform-neutral. This Standard (1) provides a framework for understanding existing and future systems, (2) promotes interoperability and portability by identifying critical system interfaces, and (3) incorporates a technical horizon (applicability) of at least 5-10 years while remaining adaptable to new technologies and learning technology systems. This Standard is neither prescriptive nor exclusive.

The IEEE Architecture Working Group is the body that developed IEEE Std. 1471-2000, a standard for architecture descriptions (i.e., if you're going to call something an architecture description, what must it contain?). The Architecture Forum has incorporated into TOGAF many of the concepts of IEEE Std. 1471-2000, and is on good working terms with a number of the key individuals (David Emery, Rich Hilliard, Mark Maier, Ron Kohl). |
