Dear Wladek,

we will hold MOS-AK guangzhou event in August, 11-12th.  two days.  10th. August can be used for one day training. 

Now, we come to the invited talk, have you good candidate for this year event?

thanks for your email and update on MOS-AK/Guangzhou workshop planning.

We have organized MOS-AK panel dedicated to the compact model Verilog-A implementation/validation (see below). This is a "hot" R&D topic in our domain. I would suggest to invite the researchers working on the FOSS TCAD/EDA tools for compact modeling support. There is interesting work done by GnuCap, ngspspice, Qucs, Xyce teams and many others. Let's also explore that topics with your local partners eg: Cogenda and local host in Guangzhou 

I will be gald if you can introduce myself to your organization team in Guangzhou, too.

-- thanks and have a nice weekend -- wladek;

 

 Many thanks.

regards,

Q1 2022 MOS-AK Panel

Online Publications

The Extended MOS-AK Committee, has organized a very first MOS-AK Panel to discuss the FOSS EDA tools for the compact/SPICE modeling and its Verilog-A standardization and implementation. The Q1 2022 MOS-AK Panel was organized as the virtual/online event on Feb.25, 2022, with practive participation of leading FOSS EDA developers representing GnuCap, ngspice, Qucs, Xyce teams.

Online Publications:

There are MOS-AK technical presentations covering selected aspects of the compact/SPICE modeling and its Verilog-A standardization; see submitted slide presentations online at corresponding link:

https://www.mos-ak.org/panel_Q1_2022/

The MOS-AK Panelists have also contributed to FOSS EDA/Verilog-A SWOT Analysis, with selected points listed in the table below. The FOSS EDA community has a number of challenges to address, in particular, securing financial support for FOSS EDA tools developments, especially for those outside of the corporate/academic environment, is of primary concern.

The MOS-AK Association plans to continue its standardization efforts by organizing future compact modeling meetings, workshops and courses around the globe thru the Next 2022 Year, including:

• Spring MOS-AK Workshop (online) Mar/Apr 2020
• 4th MOS-AK/LAEDC Workshop, Cancun (MX) July 2022
  
• 6th Sino MOS-AK Workshop (CN), Aug. 2022
• 20th MOS-AK/ESSDERC/ESSCIRC, Milano Sept.19, 2022
• 3rd MOS-AK/India Conference, Hyderabad (IN) Postponed 2022
• 15th US MOS-AK Workshop, Silicon Valley (US) Dec. 2022
• in timeframe of IEDM and Q4 CMC Meetings

Table: FOSS EDA/Verilog-A SWOT Analysis

Strengths	Weaknesses
High number of potential users both in terms of EDA companies/vendors and designers High number of potential contributors once a tool as been established as "gold standard"	At least a bit financial support will be needed in the long-run
Opportunities	Challenges
A "gold standard" Verilog-A compiler, i.e. sth. Like gcc, g++ or gfortran is currently not available for Verilog-A Improve the usefulness of open-source tools dramatically Enabler for research around the world  Further improving the Verilog-A standard and enabling new modeling technologies in the long-term	Securing financial support for FOSS developments, especially for those outside of the corporate/academic environment Teamwork, between projects
