According to alex@telecdn.uucp (Alex Laney):
>comp.cog-eng --> comp.software-eng.cognitive
>   OR comp.software-eng.user-interface
>comp.groupware --> comp.software-eng.groupware
>comp.multimedia --> comp.software-eng.multimedia
>comp.object -->  comp.software-eng.object
>comp.realtime --> comp.software-eng.realtime
>comp.software-eng --> comp.software-eng.misc
>comp.specifications --> comp.software-eng.specifications

Software engineering is a discipline.  We don't want to put a
newsgroup under comp.software-eng just because the discipline of
software engineering is a tool used by people involved in the given
subject.  Rather, a group belongs under comp.software-eng if it is a
*part* or *aspect* of software engineering.

So I would favor only:

   comp.object         -->  comp.software-eng.object
   comp.software-eng   --> comp.software-eng.misc
   comp.specifications --> comp.software-eng.specifications
