Approval of the Agenda

Administrative Issues

• Minutes of October 12 working group meeting
  Ernst presented the minutes of the October 12 meeting. Joachim moves to approve the minutes, David Smith seconds. No objections or abstentions. Minutes are approved.
• Financial plan for 2011
  This is really a budget that covers the financial obligations of the WG. It also has been requested by DASC.
• Review of IEEE patent policy
  Ernst offered a review of the IEEE patent policy. Participants waived the review.
• 1076.1.1 revision
  MEC has completed, ballot is planned to start later this week.
• 1076.1 revision
  Resolution of the copyright questions was received on October 19. Since 1076.1 is neither a revision, an amendment, a corrigendum or an erratum, it is a new project, and copyright permission must be requested for the contributions to the base standard.
  In the review of the draft PAR David Smith suggested to review whether in position 7.1 Verilog-AMS and SystemC-AMS should be included. After this review the draft PAR will go to the WG for approval.
• 1076 study group
  Was approved at last DASC meeting. There is interest in our work, in particular the two packages being developed: TDM and VMO. If we have requests to enhance the language in areas that could also benefit 1076, ISAC will work with us to get this done, and 1076 will pick such changes up in its next revision.

Project overview and status

• VHPI-AMS
  David Smith received a notice from Steve Dovich that the donation letter is still in legal, but that the donation material would be sent to David independent of this so we can review it.
• Integration of 1076.1.1
  No progress on concept of dimensions. Waiting for textual integration of 1076.1.1 for other work.
• Other mandatory changes
  Starting, with first meeting planned for next week.
• Frequency domain modeling
  White paper complete and reviewed by subcommittee. To be approved by WG.
• Table-driven modeling
  Subcommittee is focusing on identifying interpolation and extrapolation issues in different data segments depending on user input.
• Vector/matrix support
  Requirements to be submitted for WG approval. This will happen after the PAR vote completes. The subcommittee is reviewing strawman package written by David Bishop.
