Standardisation Involvement
ACCU actively supports the standardisation process for computer programming languages. ACCU has provided financial sponsorship of meetings in the UK for both the ISO C working group and the ISO C++ working groups. Additionally, ACCU has helped finance travel of UK experts to ECMA meetings in mainland Europe.
A number of ACCU members are also members of their national standards organization' groups that send delegates to the ISO working group meetings. Several members of the United Kingdom's national body's sub-committees, the IST5 committee of the British Standards Institution, are also ACCU members. The working groups are developing the next versions of various programming language standards, specifically for C and C++.

Famous quotes containing the word involvement:
“What causes adolescents to rebel is not the assertion of authority but the arbitrary use of power, with little explanation of the rules and no involvement in decision-making. . . . Involving the adolescent in decisions doesn’t mean that you are giving up your authority. It means acknowledging that the teenager is growing up and has the right to participate in decisions that affect his or her life.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
