Re[3]: January Face to Face

Will,

No, I don't mind at all, I just wasn't sure whether what I suggested was already
part of any of your items, and I did not want to make a fool of myself in the
open public.

On the other hand, I agree with your topics. Now, taking into consideration the
IC vendors' problems, do you think we should invite people from companies, who
do not attend the Open Forum yet? I mean to have companies other than National
Semiconductor and Intel represented. After all, tool vendors would not know
much about IC vendors' problems, and the Open Forum consists primarily of tool
vendors...

Of course the next question will be: is one day enough for addressing all these
topics?

Arpad,

Thanks. It is a fifth category, and should be addressed. I posted my
question/suggestion to call attention to the fact that a whole class of issues
never addressed by the forum, the IC vendors' test problem, needs addressing
and could benefit from mutual discussion.

I hope you don't mind that I posted this reply to the reflector.

IBISians,

At our January summit, I would like to suggest an organization to the
meeting: we've generally mixed the presentations between model
providers, EDA vendors, and others. I'd like to make the divisions a
bit more crisp, so we can pursue some common themes that various groups
might have. I suggest we divide the meeting into the following sections:

1. Semiconductor Vendors and their plans and concerns, such as:
    - Model generation
    - Model guarantee
    - Test issues
    - ...
2. Other Model Providers (same issues)
3. Users and their concerns
    - Obtaining models they need
    - Trusting the models
    - Getting the information in the model that is critical (what do
      they use/need the models for and when?)
    - ...
4. EDA vendors and their plans and concerns

Finally, leave room for several open session topics.

Any comments or amplifications to this?
