Standard IP Protection Discussion during IBIS Summit at DAC

The IBIS Open Forum, the industry standards organization that manages
the I/O Buffer Information Specification, will be holding a face-to-face
IBIS Summit during DAC.  A special presentation from John Shields of
Mentor Graphics, entitled "A Standards-based Approach to IP Protection
for HDLs," will be delivered during the morning program, from 9:45 AM to
10:30 AM.  This material is of interest to the general HDL community,
the AMS community and to IBIS users and model authors, due to the recent
inclusion of IEEE P1076.1 VHDL-AMS and Accellera Verilog-AMS code
support under IBIS 4.1.
