National bodies that are members of IsO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. Iso and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IsO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the Iso/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives). Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. IsO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the Iso list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents). Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement. For an explanation on the meaning of Iso specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about IsO's adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information. This second edition cancels and replaces IS0/IEC TR 19759:2005 which has been technically revised. ISO/IEC TR 19759 was prepared by the IEEE Computer Society and was adopted, under a special "fast-track procedure", by Joint Technical Committee ISo/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, in parallel with its approval by national bodies of ISO and IEC. dardization 59566 ISO/IEC 2015 - All rights reserved ISO/IEC TR 19759:2015(E) Introduction The purpose of the Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge is to provide a consensually validated characterization of the bounds of the software engineering discipline and to provide a topical access to the Body of Knowledge supp
