You can provide an important impetus to the enhancement of VHDL by spending
a few minutes of your valuable time completing a
survey. The data collected by this
survey will guide the VHDL 200x team in proposing the next round of
extensions and modifications to VHDL. To participate, please visit
http://www.vhdl200x.org/survey/surveyPart1.html.
As you know, the IEEE requires that the VHDL standard be recertified at
least every five years. There is currently underway a recertification and
language refinement as a "maintenance release", which will conclude late
this year or early next. The VHDL standards community is already working
on the subsequent revision, a significant enhancement, entitled VHDL 200x.
The VHDL 200x revision will dramatically reduce the impact of electronic
system obsolescence and pave the way for future generations of CAD/EDA
systems that support rapid and cost-effective development.
The VHDL 200x team is sponsored and supported by the Air Force Research
Laboratory. The work is being done in cooperation with the IEEE DASC VHDL
Analysis and Standards Group (VASG). Team members include University of
Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, Menchini & Associates, EDA
Standards Consulting, and the Advanced Technology Institute.
Please help the design community by completing the survey. We are
requesting that the survey be completed by SEPTEMBER 15th. Initial
results will be presented at the 1999 Fall VIUF Workshop. (The Workshop's
preliminary program is at http://www.vhdl.org/viuf/conf/viuf99/index.html.)
Again, the survey web address is:

Thanks in advance for participating.
Sincerely,
The VHDL-200x team
