Ying-Tsai commented that the aggregate objects data model is incomplete.   Wants an efficient
mechanism for tracking value changes of the elements of aggregate objects.  Wants to standardize
on a name for objects which are not named in the HDL but are named in VPI.  Discussed the 
possibility of canonical names for dynamic objects. 

Abi brought up an interface for coverage info in Accellera.  Very distinct from VPI.  Provides access to 
coverage data both during simulation and after simulation.  Unified Coverage Interoperability Standard.
Vernon Lee, Hemant, GD, David Scott (was Mentor Champion).  

Jim brought up that VPI does not handle statements used as expressions and functions used as
statements.  

Jim brought up the 120 open SV-CC Mantis Items that should be investigated.  Francoise thinks we
should focus on getting VPI in sync with the LRM.  There are many holes.  

Chuck brought up the weaknesses in Virtual interfaces again.

Chas will put together a presentation with our ideas on what should be done by next Weds.  Then we
can discuss at our next meeting.
