Workgroup status (III)


Subject: Workgroup status (III)

There have been a couple of responses suggesting work on:
  a) backannotation of timing and parasitics
  b) scheduling semantics of analog events, e.g. timer

I have suggested that we postpone (a) until after the 2.1 edit,
since it is presently not in the DOs. This is not to suggest that
it isn't important, but adding a DO is pretty weighty for now.
Kevin is the champion for this functionality - anyone interested
please look at his proposals and/or contact him.

I've added a group for (b) and put Sri, Graham and Peter in it
as a first cut.

There have also been a number of questions about the status of
discipline resolution. Unfortunately I don't have time to go into
this in detail rght now. Jon Sanders and I met a couple of weeks
ago; at least we now have a clear picture of the gulf that exists.
I will write this up in more detail when I get back on line.

Proposed groups:

(from previous email):
>> Proposal for work groups and members:

>> 1. Mixed signal initialization and simulation cycle (including
>> alignment with VHDL-AMS semantics): Peter, Dan, Martin

>> 2. Semantics and synchronization of cross-domain access: Ian,
>> Martin, Graham

3. Scheduling semantics for analog events and operators: Sri,
   Graham, Peter

>> Deliverables: statement of the issues and what the group expects
>> to provide for resolution. If possible I'd like to have this
>> available for a phone meeting some time next week (4/2 - 4/6).

I am in major time trouble this week and will be away during the 2
weeks starting 4/8. I would like to get the workgroups up and
running NOW if possible. We can arrange a conference call some time
in the next 2 days, or do it by email if preferred. Just let me know.
