Agenda
======

1) Opens
2) Call for any related patent disclosures
3) Review of ARs:


Arpad:  Update BIRD 137 with the comments in the last ATM meeting
        - done (see attachments)

Arpad:  Update BIRD 127 according to the rules in BIRD 137
        - pending

Any other AR-s?


Old ARs:

Arpad:  Review the documentation (annotation) in the macro libraries.
        - deferred until a demand arises or we have nothing else to do



4)  Backchannel BIRD draft update                          (Ken)
     - discussion, questions, comments?


5)  BIRD 137                                               (Arpad)
    - My notes from the last meeting say:
      In 5.1 say:  Never be a null pointer, always point to a string
      which contains the root name.

      This conflicts the notes I took in the same meeting:

      Null pointer,
      Pointer to a null,
      String with root name only

      Which rule do we want?


6)  Parameter string syntax question
    - See BIRD137.1 definition for parameter and message strings
      - this includes now the definition of empty parameter and
        message strings
    - See BIRD 135.1 for the definition of empty string parameters
      (under #8)


7)  BIRD 127.1 needs to be corrected, because it contradicts the
    the AMI_parameters_in/out string rules (optional vs. must):

|* The EDA tool must pass a string to the AMI executable model
|* through the AMI_parameters_in argument which contains all of
|* the leaf/value pair formatted Usage In and Usage InOut AMI
|* parameters defined in the .ami file and nothing else.
|*
|* The AMI executable model must return a string to the EDA tool
|* through the AMI_parameters_out argument which contains all of
|* the leaf/value pair formatted Usage InOut and Usage Out AMI
|* parameters defined in the .ami file and nothing else.


8)  BIRD 121.1, data management parameters (file support) (Walter)
     - discussion, questions, comments?


9)  BIRD 122; Analog Buffer BIRD                          (Walter)
     - replaced with ISS_Buffer_BIRD.doc


10) BIRD 123.2.2, jitter parameters  (includes Row 37)    (Walter)
     - review latest changes and graphics
     - do these changes answer the questions raised before:
       - remove Usage Out from the BIRD?  or
       - specify which function (Init or GetWave) can return values?
       - specify what the EDA tool should do with the returned values?


11) BIRD 124.1, dependency table                          (Walter)
     - questions, comments?


12) Info, Out, InOut BIRD                                 (Arpad)
    - latest wording includes "in order to be compliant with this
      specification, Model_Specific parameters ... must not ...",
      and omits the word "simulation" so it's meaning doesn't have
      to be defined
    - any comments, questions on this draft?


Thanks,

Arpad
