I noticed in the meeting minutes that there were some questions on operating
conditions in OLA. The best person to address this is Archie Lachner of
Mentor Graphics (I've copied him on this email). Archie's contact is
archie_lachner@mentor.com
Best Regards,

>
> Closed action items:
>
> Who When What
> ---------- ------ --------
> 1. Mark 8/10 Prepare sample of draft format for
> -> 8/17 data_arrival_time
>
> 2. Mark 8/17 Discuss what documentation tool to
> use for the draft spec with the technical
> editor
> Next Meeting:
>
> The next meeting will be a teleconference on 9/14
> from 9-11 am (PDT).
>
> Details:
> 1. Review action items
>
> We went over the example for data_arrival_time and discussed
> a number of issues. In general, it looks like the best approach
> is to have man page style descriptions in the main portion of
> the document, and a full BNF description of all commands in an
> appendix.
>
> We agreed that there should be a "Domain Theory" section for
> each constraint domain, which will be the repository for information
> that's common to several different constraints in the domain.
>
> We talked about various use models for the taxonomy; the one
> that seemed to have the most support was a concise command reference
> like the small booklets often provided for languages like Tcl
> and Perl.
>
> We talked about the documentation tool to use for the DCDL spec,
> and agreed to use Framemaker 5.5.x rather than Word. IBM and Mentor
> use 5.5.6, while Cadence is on 5.5.3.
>
> 2. Discuss operating conditions
>
> Bob brought up some of the issues he had come across for operating
> conditions in DCL and OLA, but we didn't have enough background to
> discuss them in detail.
