Proposed Supplemental Knowledge Areas (KAs)

Supplemental KAs are works in progress. Qualified practitioners are invited to draft a document that describes generally accepted knowledge in a new area. The Professional Activities Board reviews the document, then it is posted here for informal review and comment. Eventually, the document may undergo a full review and rewrite, before it undergoes the full SWEBOK review to become a full SWEBOK knowledge area.

Meanwhile, these drafts provide the basis for ongoing discussion of these areas and useful pointers in emerging areas. Supplemental KAs include  

1. Measurement
2. Security

In addition, the SWEBOK Version 3 will be using and refining a list of suggested point-wise security updates to the 2004 SWEBOK Guide:

1. "Security-oriented Point-wise Changes to SWEBOK" (suggested point-wise security-related changes to the 2004 SWEBOK Guide)
