Work Group
Abbreviated name of Work Group: PIWG
Charter: The scope of the work group is as follows: The PEI and DXE
specifications authored by Intel and other related specifications as
mutually agreed to by a majority of the work group. Implementations of these
specifications are intended to serve as firmware for initializing a computer
system and are intended to be implementations below the interface layer
presented by the UEFI Specification. Implementations of PEI and DXE would
not be required for UEFI compliance.

Full name of Work Group: UEFI Specification Work
Group
Abbreviated name of Work Group: USWG
Charter: The group’s scope is to manage and evolve the definition of
the “Unified Extensible Firmware Interface” specification (UEFI Spec). The
purpose of the specification is to define programmatic interfaces and
related data structures and conventions that are used in the transfer of
control between platform firmware and operating systems software. In
addition, programmatic interfaces in the pre-OS environment that address the
needs of both add-in card adapter boot support and manufacturing test and
automation are considered in scope. In support of the main specification
work, the group was also authorized to work on a “UEFI Driver Writer’s
Guide” and any similar materials that will assist in development of products
that work with the UEFI Spec.
