The IBIS Open Forum has recently approved the IBIS 5.0 specification.  To aid 
industry adoption, the Open Forum would like to release a "golden parser" for 
IBIS 5.0 models, as it has for IBIS 4.2 and previous versions.  We are 
therefore soliciting bids from software developers to upgrade the existing 
parser to support IBIS 5.0 syntax.

Alterations to IBIS are approved through BIRDs (Buffer Issue Resolution 
Documents) which describe the changes in detail.  The new parser must support 
the updates in IBIS 5.0 as described in the BIRDs below:

        BIRD74.6      EMI Parameters
        BIRD95.6      Power Integrity Using IBIS
        BIRD98.3      Gate Modulation Effect (Table Format)
        BIRD103.1     [Model Spec] DDR2 Overshoot/Undershoot Parameters      
        BIRD104.1     Algorithmic Modeling API (AMI) Support in IBIS
        BIRD106       Clarification on Signal_pin Parameters
        BIRD107.2     Update to Algorithmic Modeling API (AMI) Support in IBIS

The full text of each of the BIRDs can be found at:

    http://www.eda.org/ibis/birds/

Please refer to the IBIS Version 5.0 specification for the final text of these 
features.  The document can be found at:

    http://www.eda.org/ibis/ver5.0/
 
We are seeking an estimate of the time and cost of developing an IBIS 5.0 
parser, plus additional modules, according to these requirements.  
Compatibility with previous versions is required and the use of current parser 
source code is assumed.  Note that the source for the parser is not distributed 
except under paid license from the IBIS Open Forum. 

While we will look at each proposal a whole, we do weigh heavily flexibility, 
level of interaction possible and knowledge of IBIS, as interpretation or 
technical issues may arise that require discussion.  Note that the parser 
development schedule and scope is contingent on the ability of the IBIS Open 
Forum to raise sufficient funds to cover parser costs.  The IBIS Open Forum may 
opt for a reduced list of features depending upon the funds that are available, 
on a mutually-agreed schedule.

If you are interested, please request a bid packet, which contains detailed 
information on parser requirements.  Bid submissions must be received no later 
than March 1.  Proposals and bid packet requests should be sent to Michael 
Mirmak, IBIS Open Forum Chair, using the contact information below.
 
Thank you!
