About this working group
OverviewThe e Functional Verification Language Working Group (eWG) was formed to define a standard for the e language. The eWG is sponsored by the IEEE Design Automation Standards Committee (DASC), a body of the IEEE Computer Society focused on electronic design automation standards. All standards-related activity in the IEEE is governed by the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE/SA).The DASC has formed the Verification Language Study Group (VLSG) to scope and direct the standardization process. This effort resulted in a Project Authorization Request (PAR), that was approved by the DASC board on April 10, 2003 and by the IEEE Standards Board on June 12, 2003. The 1647-2006 standard passed a peer review ballot on October 28, 2005, passed RevCom and got approved by the standards board on March 30, 2006. The standard was published in September 2006. A revision PAR was filed and approved by NesCom July 31st, 2006. ScopeThe following is the scope of the eWG as extracted from the PAR:The
scope of this standard is the definition of the e functional verification language. This standard aims to serve as
an authoritative source for the definition of:
(a) syntax and semantics of e language constructs (b) the e language interaction with standard simulation languages (c) e language libraries This revision extends the standard to cover novel verification-related features OperationThe eWG operation is governed by the policies and procedures of the sponsor organizations. In addition, the eWG have decided to adopt a set of Bylaws.Please review the eWG Bylaws Call for ParticipationIndividuals interested in functional verification languages are hereby invited to take part in the 1647 working group effort. This effort is aimed at standardizing the e functional verification language. The e language has been evolving since it's introduction in 1996, and is used today by a large community of industrial and academic users.To learn more about the goal and scope of the working group, please consult the Project Authorization granted by the IEEE Standards Association. The participation in the working group is open to all. Please review the Membership section if you consider joining the team. |
