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

- 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.
