Discussions on table_model requirements
  - it was agreed that LRM specification should be extended to allow datapoints both as a scattered set of points and on isolines
  - Need to also enhance the specification of the interpolation techniques that can be used for table_models. It was felt useful to allow quadratic and spline interpolation techniques for multi-dimensional tables for scattered data and use the higher order of interpolation on the inner dimensions.
  - Clamp is currently disallowed in the LRM for extrapolation techniques as this could lead to discontinuties on a multi-dimensional table for a scattered data. This is not a problem if the data is organized on a set of isolines.
  - there was concern about the "sections" requirement in the table_model making the model very complicated. This requirement might be dropped.
  - There were no concerns with the support for closest lookup (no interpolation), mutliple dependents and a more flexible format requirements for the table_model.
  - There was a concern about whether we should still proceed with the work for table_model. It was decided that we will continue with this work since the specification and the details would be applicable irrespective of the language that's chosen (verilog or SV). 

SV-AMS workshop
  - Representatives from bay area are most likely to attend
  - if there are any specific requirements that somebody wants to discuss, this will be discussed in the next AMS call on 4th April.

Next call timing:
  - New time for the conference call need to be discussed as countries are moving in/out of daylight savings. Mainly a concern for Europe/Australia.

Next call: 4th April 2005.
Time: TBD

Regards,
Sri

* Requirements for SV-AMS, if any of the companies/representatives are not being able to attend but would like to present.

Dialin details: same as usual.
