Chapter 366: Trial him? Don’t go!
Although the comrades of the Standards and Regulations Bureau cannot understand such a pure computer technology standard, why the three companies would come up with such a mysterious operation as putting the 17th Machinery Department first when they joined forces. , but as far as the application materials themselves are concerned, the quality is still very high.
The purpose, significance, innovation, current status of relevant domestic and foreign standards, research content, personnel investment, resource investment, fund sources, fund use plan, etc. are all available. It can be said that the entire application document has a well-proportioned skeleton and full flesh and blood. , What is said is meaningful, and the goal is clear.
Of course, what also puzzled them was why the leader was a level 6 engineer from the 17th Machinery Department.
Compared with Gao Zhendong’s other work, his work on computers is relatively widely spread to the outside world. Among other things, the C language has been spread to Citigroup, and standards, papers, and tutorials are all I sent it and made a small profit in foreign exchange.
Therefore, in terms of computers, Gao Zhendong's existence is not very concealed. This is also the effect that the National Defense Work Committee, the 17th Machinery Department and other ministries and commissions want to achieve.
This question of the leader is not important. The three reporting units have no objections together. Naturally, the Bureau of Standards and Regulations will not look for trouble and have other ideas.
What makes the Bureau of Standards and Regulations excited is that there is a sentence in it: "This standard is currently an international blank."
Three ministries dare to unite to say this sentence. I think it is not a problem. Big, technically speaking, you may not necessarily be able to do it, but if you are sure, you still have the ability.
Seeing that everyone had almost digested the document, the director of the Bureau of Standards and Regulation took a sip of tea and said, "Everyone has read it, right? What do you think? Tell us."
"This is the first voluntary application we have received from outside the machinery industry, right? Based on this, I think we can support it."
Everyone still knows the allusion of Qianjin City's horse bones. .
“My starting point is different from yours. Judging from the quality of the application itself, it is very high. It seems that they are also determined to win. With the cooperation of three ministries and commissions, the amount is not small. The resources and manpower are The guarantees have reached their peak. If we really want to do this now, there may not be anyone better than them.”
“I think there is no need to discuss it in terms of hard power. From a practical point of view, it is also very necessary. Now that transistor computers have begun to be rolled out in large numbers, there is a lack of application programs, and it is indeed necessary to promote relevant standards for programming."
"It makes sense, as far as we know, Computers with this specification are one of the few in our high-tech field that does not lag behind the world. We have even exported them to Lao Maozi and Gaul Chicken. The practicality and advancement of this standard are not lacking. ”
"Not only that, in terms of software compilation, our programming computer language standards, papers and teaching materials have even been exported to Citigroup. In this regard, since we have some bright spots, we must support them."
“I think everyone has seen the standard outline and preliminary content they provided. It is very detailed and instructive. I think there is no need to discuss this matter.”
Everyone’s The opinions are all one-sided, but the process still needs to be followed.
Seeing this, the Director of the Bureau of Standards and Regulations did not waste any time.
“Since the comrades are very consistent in their opinions, we will not continue to waste time discussing it. However, the whole process still needs to be started. For this kind of initiative to declare the establishment standards, we are also big girls getting on the sedan chair, and our heads are Once, I took this opportunity to go through the entire process. It was considered that the three major ministries took care of us and gave us an opportunity to practice and take an open-book exam.”
He said this very modestly. There was nothing he could do about it. These three ministries and commissions were all giants. Although the Bureau of Standards and Regulations was the standard management agency, overall things were very delicate.
At the same time, what he said is correct. The approval process for voluntarily applying for the preparation of national standards has never been truly practiced since it was formulated. It is also a good thing to practice drills.
Everyone agreed, so the director arranged: "The comrade responsible for the review work will contact several experts after the meeting to bring this material to a meeting according to the process and review it."
This After finishing the matter, the director changed his tone and talked about the things that he really cared about.
“I’m thinking, since this standard condition is so good, should we just go all out and push it internationally?”
This was the most exciting thing for him. Ever since he saw the words "International Blank", this idea had been lingering in his head and he couldn't get rid of it.
Theoretically, we now have this condition. As early as 1957, we have joined the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and can participate in and carry out the work of IEC-related international standards.
One of the tasks that IEC is responsible for is international standardization work in electronics and electrical engineering related fields.
For example, it will be clear, ISO/IEC9899:1990 Programming languages C, the C language standard released by the International Organization for Standardization in 1990, which is often called the International Organization for Standardization version of ANSIC89.
But many things can be done in theory and can be done in practice, which are two different things.
Let alone the 1960s, it was already in the 1990s that we really started to work hard on international standards.
There are technical reasons for this, and there are also some other reasons, such as the dispute between the two camps, but the main reasons are technical reasons. As the head of the Standards and Regulations Bureau, he is still certain about the development of technology. At least he can be sure that at this time, IEC does not have standards for software development documents, or in other words, there are few standards related to software preparation. .
Can you put a satellite on this matter?
As soon as the director said this, the minds of the participants started to move. Yes, this thing has the potential to become an IEC standard.
As the only standards-related international organization we have joined so far, the Software Documentation Guidelines are professionally relevant to the IEC, suitable for the field, and at the same time advanced and practical, so there is no shortage of necessity.
Other international organizations have nothing to do with standards bureaus, but this one and only IEC is their stage.
Although there was a stage, there was nothing to dance about, but these three ministries just happened to choreograph such a dance.
The comrade in charge of technology from the Bureau of Standards and Regulations thought about it and his eyes lit up: "Director, we might as well be bolder."
"Be bolder?" The director didn't react a little, I was already bold enough Okay?
"Yes! Be bold."
She is in charge of technology. She has a better grasp of technical development than the director. She can also think of more things and talk about them.
“In addition to this standard, if I remember correctly, we have a de facto standard about computer languages that has been promoted abroad and has been widely used, and the name of this language is very meaningful. Contact us It's close and can be used for publicity."
When she said this, the director remembered: "Ah, you are talking about C language?"
Technical leader Diandian. Head: "Yes, and according to feedback from the Institute of Science and Technology Information, this C language is very popular abroad and has a good foundation for international standard work."
The director's eyes shone, this is not bad.
"Then which unit is responsible for this standard? Contact us? Let's push it together and give it a try. These two standards have such good conditions, it would be a pity to push them away."
The technical director laughed: "I just saw the declaration form for the software documentation standard in my hand and remembered that, although I don't know the unit, the person who invented the C language and prepared the standard is the leader of the software documentation standard. Comrade Gao Zhendong from the 17th Machinery Department. "
She also saw Gao Zhendong and thought about it for a while before she remembered such a thing. It happened that the director wanted to go overseas and make a living, so she brought it up together.
After she said this, everyone understood why the 17th Machinery Department ranked first in this declaration, and the leader was a level 6 engineer from the 17th Machinery Department.
In the software industry, even in the future, there will be no seniority in the technical field. Professional titles are judged by examinations. Those who have passed the soft exam will be recognized by the human resources department of all provinces. Those who have passed the senior exam will be recognized as deputy senior professional titles, and those who have passed the intermediate exam will be recognized. Recognize intermediate professional titles.
Of course, the separation of evaluation and employment is another matter. Whether there is an employer to hire is another matter. But when it comes to participating in bidding, it is very tough. No bid evaluation expert dares to deny it.
This person is responsible for the C language. It is normal that he also takes the lead in compiling software documentation standards. The director was overjoyed: "Well, let's make a preliminary decision and use this software documentation standard as the seed of our international standards work. Come and train, and contact Comrade Gao Zhendong at the same time to include the C language standard into this."
He made the final decision. The comrades of the Standards and Regulations Bureau broke up the meeting and implemented the "Software Development Document Preparation" according to their division of labor. Guidelines" as a national standard, and the inclusion of C language in the seed scope of international standards.
Unexpectedly, neither job went smoothly.
The 12th Ministry of Machinery is one of the three joint applicants. It is inappropriate to ask experts from them to review this matter. It is right to be both a player and a referee.
Without the largest expert pool in computer science, the Bureau of Standards and Regulations has no choice but to find experts from other units, and they must be from units in the capital, and people from other places cannot catch up. These days, Transportation is not very convenient.
What surprised the comrades of the Bureau of Standards and Regulations was that after hearing about this incident, all the software personnel they contacted were very enthusiastic and interested at first, but when they found out the details, the situation took a turn for the worse. .
"Well, no problem, no problem. The software documentation standards are interesting. I must have come to the right comrade. Which company is being reviewed?"
At this time, many regulations are not yet complete. When I heard that the unit being reviewed had seventeen machine departments, my tone changed.
"Seventeenth Ministry of Machinery? Wait, who is the person in charge of the project? His surname is Gao??!! Ah, I'm sorry, comrade. Review him? I won't go! Yes, yes, yes. No! No! I can't even tell the truth. Don’t go!”
