This is an index of selected software interface standards, organized by the standards-related organization which developed or maintains them.

IEEE Standards

Standards in this section were developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Most were developed under the direction of the IEEE Computer Society. The IEEE is an Accredited Standards Committee for the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and all standards in this list are ANSI standards as well, unless otherwise noted.

• IEEE 694: Microprocessor Assembly Language
• IEEE 695: Microprocessor Relocatable Software Formats
• IEEE 754: Binary Floating Point Arithmetic
• IEEE 770: Pascal Computer Programming Language
• IEEE 855: Microprocessor Operating System Interfaces (MOSI)
• IEEE 1003.1: POSIX Part 1: System API
• IEEE 1003.1b: Real-Time and Related System API
• IEEE 1003.2: Shell and Utility Application Interface
• IEEE 1003.9: Fortran 77 Language Bindings to POSIX
• IEEE 1224: OSI Abstract Data Manipulation API
• IEEE 1224.1: OSI X-400 Based Electronic Messaging API
• IEEE 1224.2: Information Technology: Directory Services API
• IEEE 1275: Boot Firmware
• IEEE 1327: OSI Abstract Data Manipulation C Language Binding
• IEEE 1327.1: Information Technology: X-400 Based Electronic Messaging C Language Binding
• IEEE 1327.2: Directory Services C Language Binding
• IEEE 1596: Scalable Coherent Interface

ANSI Standards

Computer-related (Information Processing) standards sponsored by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) are developed primarily by the Accredited Standards Committee NCITS (formerly X3). These standards are designated X3.nnn.

• ANSI X3.4: 7-bit American National Standard Code for Information Interchange
• ANSI X3.9: Programming Language FORTRAN
• ANSI X3.23-1985: Programming Language COBOL
• ANSI X3.23a: Programming Languages--Intrinsic Function Module for COBOL.
• ANSI X3.28: Procedures for the Use of the Communications Control Characters of American National Standards Code for Information Interchange in Specified Data Communication Links
• ANSI X3.30: Representation for Calendar Date and Ordinal Date for Information Interchange
• ANSI X3.41: Code Extension Techniques for Use with the 7-byte Coded Character Set of ASCII
• ANSI X3.43: Representations of Local Time of Day for Information Interchange
• ANSI X3.51: Representations of Universal Time, Local Time Differentials, and United States Time Zone References for Information Interchange
• ANSI X3.53: Programming Language PL/I
• ANSI X3.64: Additional Controls for Use with the American National Standard Code for Information Interchange
• ANSI X3.74: Programming Language PL/I, General Purpose Subset
• ANSI X3.113: Programming Language Full BASIC
• ANSI X3.113a: Modules and Individual Character Input for Full Basic
• ANSI X3.124: Graphical Kernel System (GKS) Functional Description

• ANSI X3.159: Programming Language C

ISO/IEC Standards

Information processing standards under the sponsorship of The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have generally been developed by the Technical Committee TC97. Standards related to microprocessors under the sponsorship of IEC have been developed by the Technical subcommittee SC47B. Since about 1990 information processing standards for both organizations have been managed by the joint technical committee JTC1.

• ISO 646: ISO 7-bit coded character set for information interchange
• ISO 1538: Programming Language ALGOL 60
• ISO 2022: ISO 7-bit and 8-bit coded character sets - Code extension techniques
• ISO 4873: 8-bit coded character set for information interchange
• ISO 6429: ISO 7-bit and 8-bit coded character sets -- additional control functions for character-imaging devices
• ISO 7498: Open Systems Interconnection--Basic Reference Model

Other

ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A-1983/ISO 8652-1987: Programming Language Ada
