Abstract :
The end of the year is often a time to look both forward and back. Since this column is being written in early December, the prevailing mood is one of reflection: on how the WCET certification program came into existence and how it has developed over the past several years. It has, after all, been four years since the first Practice Analysis Task Force convened to begin developing the description of practice (the Delineation) that underlies the whole WCET program.
