    Dear AMS-WG:
    The AMS 2.0 draft is now posted for public review. The announcement
    below is being sent out to the AMS Forum and the members of
    Accellera Systems Initiative today.
    The draft is posted at http://www.accellera.org/downloads/drafts_review/
    Regards,
    Lynn
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    We are pleased to announce the release of the SystemC
    Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) 2.0 draft standard to address the need for
    more dynamic and reactive modeling features for analog/mixed-signal
    system-level design. This release marks the start of a public review
    of the SystemC AMS 2.0 draft standard, open through April 30, 2012.
    The draft of the AMS 2.0 standard is available for download
    <http://www.accellera.org/downloads/drafts_review/> under SystemC
    open-source license. Users, modeling experts, mixed-signal design
    engineers and ESL tool developers are encouraged to review and
    discuss the AMS 2.0 draft standard with the SystemC AMS Working
    Group members via the AMS discussion forum
    <http://www.accellera.org/Discussion_Forums/ams_forum/>.
    The draft is fully compatible with the updated release of the IEEE
    1666™-2011 "Standard SystemC Language Reference Manual," which
    specifies SystemC, the high-level design language used in the design
    and development of electronic systems. Complementary to the
    system-level modeling capabilities contained within the AMS 1.0
    standard, the new draft features additional semantics and language
    constructs to model dynamic and reactive mixed-signal behavior at
    high levels of abstraction.
    The SystemC AMS 2.0 draft standard introduces dynamic features to
    the Timed Data Flow (TDF) model of computation, the abstract
    modeling style introduced in SystemC AMS. Since the release of the
    AMS 1.0 standard two years ago, the SystemC AMS Working Group has
    now formalized the execution semantics and language constructs for
    these dynamic features, which are documented in the AMS Language
    Reference Manual.
    Members of Accellera Systems Initiative are invited to participate
    in the SystemC AMS Working Group, which will continue with the
    standardization of the dynamic features as preparation for the final
    SystemC AMS 2.0 release. To find out how to join, please contact us
    <http://www.accellera.org/about/contact_us/>.
