Cadence is committed to the success of the ITC group and the SCE-API subgroup.

We would like to see the group broaden the scope of the models supported to more than emulation through this process. New interfaces should allow both software and hardware engines to be used interchangeably where it makes sense. Where they don't, they should be separate interfaces.

The following are Cadence's position on the issues raised at the last meeting:
* The goals discussed are acceptable: set a roadmap by DAC, complete one interface standard and have a draft in progress for a second by the end of 2002. The roadmap by DAC may be a little too aggressive but it is an acceptable goal.
* Richard Sayde commits to about 2 hours per week.
* Andy Eliopoulous commits to 1/2 to 1 day per month.
* Cadence was not a founding member of the SCE-API and did not sign the technology transfer letter.
* No problem with transferring source documents from SCE-API to Accellera.
