Team AA group of young computer professionals who feel that computer scientists should be a self-governing, self-certifying body like engineers, doctors and lawyers, recognized in law. They are worried that standards will be imposed on them by ignorant legislators and that the proliferation of hastily-written, flawed software will bring the whole profession into disrepute.
Team BA group of established computer scientists and workers in the software industry who believe that regulating programmers is unrealisitc: computer software does not lend itself to clear standards of acceptability, globalization dooms any local efforts at regulation and the self-governing bodies mentioned above merely perpetuate privilege and exclusion.
