6. Discussion Topics

6 a) Planning our Standard

  • {Slide 13}
  • The revised IEEE-SA site has videos on using the template for standards.
  • P1687.1 opened the template in outline view to start dropping in headings.
  • We may need to address some educational aspects. Would this be for EDA vendors? Probably wider than that. 
  • Brad collected the points raised during the discussion as bullets on new slides added to the meeting pack {slides 14 to 19}. Refer  to the pack linked at the top of these minutes for the points raised. 
  • Security and its relevance to P2654 was discussed at some length. Possibly worth getting a draft reviewed by security experts. There may be some available from the CEDA group, former STAM member Russell Shannon, Al Crouch and Dr Mark Tehranipoor.
  • Joel mentioned a paper on Security for the Heterogeneous Integration Roadmap (HIR) and supplied a link: https://eps.ieee.org/images/files/HIR_2019/HIR1_ch19_security.pdf

7. Any Other Business

9. Glossary Terms from This Meeting

  • None.
  • Carried over:
    • "Interface" is missing.
      • No obvious IEEE accepted definition.
      • 1687 has definitions for specialised forms: Device Interface and Instrument Interface.
      • We may need specialised forms for Software Interface and Hardware Interface.
      • "Interface" is overloaded and requires disambiguation.
    • 1687.1: Transformation.
    • IEEE 1856: Sense - "Sensor" done, Acquire, Analyze not really defined.
    • Device - do we mean a packaged device? May be many devices in a package. "Device" is often used as a modifier, e.g. "device package", "device identification".
    • Use Case Context, Application Context
    • Legacy Infrastructure, SJTAG Infrastructure (placeholders for now, really for working group to define).
    • "Generators": May need to be qualified as "Test Generators" (used by the integrator/tester) and "Model Generators" (used by IP providers, interface designers, etc.).
    • AccessLink and DataLink descriptions will need to be revised.
    • See P1687.1's definitions on Slide 31 of the pack presented by Jeff Rearick on Jan 14, 2019.
    • "State", "Vector", "Sequence" and "Pattern" as proposed at April 8 meeting.
