IEEE Computer Society is accepting applications for contributing authors for the Guide to the Information Technology Body of Knowledge (ITBOK Guide).

Participants will need written and oral English fluency, strong writing, collaboration, and communication skills; knowledge of relevant industry standards, such as ITIL or COBIT; and a thorough understanding of IT organizations and the services they provide.
