Abstract	This presentation will focus on trends which are affecting certification and professionalism among computing personnel. Such trends, both from within the industry and from without, will be discussed with emphasis on the still pending choice between voluntary certification and mandatory licensing. The enhancement of certification programs accelerated in the seventies with the establishment of ICCP and the associated support of the major computer societies. Proposals for licensing data processing personnel have emerged in the meantime but have not yet received sufficient endorsement from computing personnel to be seriously considered by legislators. Reasons typically given for such lack of support include the dynamic state of knowledge in our field on the one hand and, on the other, the lack of appreciation for exactly who should be licensed and for what specific purposes. Indeed, when licensing was first suggested, many took the position that it was premature for these reasons. More narrow proposals for licensing now have emerged which may be more supportable, and several trends are evident which will accelerate possible considerations. Pertinent ones include accelerating developments in software engineering (including the specification, design, techniques for implementation, and maintenance of systems) which better assure system quality and correctness; increased public awareness of computer-related incidents which impact public health and safety; increased attention within the courts and among other professional groups to malpractice in our field; and increased efforts toward strengthening privacy legislation and laws which deal with computer-related white collar crimes. Offsetting these, of course, is a general trend away from regulation of occupational groups. Each of these will be reviewed in detail and placed in perspective.
