Liaisons - SV-EC had a face to face to discuss the clocking blocks and programs. We will likely have to do some modeling changes. Programs, clocking blocks, and event scheduling algorithm - want a new region to allow non-blocking assignments to program variables. Francoise agreed to supply the minutes: http://www.eda-stds.org/sv-ec/Minutes/SV-EC_f2f_Meeting_November_6_2006_Notes.txt 4. New business - Discuss draft of merged data model. Chas commented on the changes since the prior draft. Jim Vellenga had reviewed the draft and found a bunch of mistakes in the notes, and a few mistakes in the diagrams themselves. The new version looks pretty good. - Abi and Michael's proposals for the compatibility issues The implementation cannot use the actual include files, it will have to diverge slightly in that regard.

Chuck has a proposal to be sent out. - Francoise to champion adding support for typed parameters to the typespec diagrams. - Abi to champion adding support for parameterized classes. - Abi/JimV to champion improving the ability to compare objects. JimV has been working on this, but hasn't sent anything out. - Steve Dovich to determine best way to deal with issues between versions of the IEEE specs. Chas to ask Steve about this. JimV/Abi.
