About This Item
IEEE 2755-2017 is a technical guide for terms and concepts in intelligent process automation, helping clarify the language used when discussing automated processes, decision support, and related computing systems. In the context of computing and processing, as well as robotics and control systems, it supports more consistent communication between engineers, integrators, and stakeholders. Using IEEE 2755-2017 can reduce ambiguity when defining automation functions, evaluating system behavior, or documenting intelligent workflow solutions.
IEEE 2755-2017 overview
This standard focuses on the terminology and conceptual foundation of intelligent process automation, rather than on a specific machine or software implementation. IEEE 2755-2017 is useful when teams need a shared understanding of how automated process elements, control logic, and intelligent decision-making fit together. It provides a common reference for describing automation concepts in a way that is more precise for technical documentation, system design discussions, and specification review.
Typical use cases
IEEE 2755-2017 is commonly used when defining intelligent automation workflows, robotic process support, or process control concepts in computing environments. It may be referenced during solution design, procurement, and requirements writing for systems that combine software automation with control-system thinking. The guide is also relevant when teams need consistent terminology for documenting process states, task handling, exception paths, or automation roles across engineering, operations, and integration work.
Why this standard matters
This standard matters because clear terminology is essential when automation projects involve multiple disciplines and handoffs. IEEE 2755-2017 can help reduce misunderstandings in design reviews, testing plans, and compliance documentation by aligning the vocabulary used for intelligent process automation. That consistency supports better procurement comparisons, more reliable system specification, and lower project risk when integrating computing functions with robotics or control-oriented processes. It is especially helpful where accuracy in language affects performance expectations.
