Acknowledgements

The following people were particularly helpful in the development of this project:

• Mark Marlett - had many wonderfully enlightening conversations with me, regarding AMI modeling, in general, both from a theoretical and a practical standpoint. Mark, I absolutely thrive on our conversations and hope that they continue for many years to come. Also, Mark is the one, who encouraged me to get the code posted on GitHub, because he was eager to help out. Thanks, Mark!

• Greg Davis - turned me on to the EmPy embedding/templating system at what couldn't have been a more timely moment. I was just about to go down a serious rat hole, defining my own testing grammar. Very glad I didn't. Thanks, Greg!

• SiSoft - have been a wonderful resource in all my travails with IBIS modeling, both AMI and standard. In particular, Walter Katz, Mike Steinberger, and Todd Westerhoff have been incredibly helpful and patient with me, as I've struggled to understand the subtleties involved in constructing and testing IBIS-AMI models. This work was, in fact, motivated by their free tool suite for AMI model testing. Thanks, guys!

• IBIS-ATM members - So many helpful souls attend this weekly teleconference. Thanks to all of you, whom I've had the pleasure of conversing privately with, and looking forward to getting to know better those of you, whom I haven't, yet. Thanks!
