The IEEE Standard 1076 defines the VHSICHardware Description Language or VHDL. It was originally developed by CLSI under contract F33615-83-C-1003 from the United States Airforce in 1983. The language has undergone numerous revisions and has a variety of sub-standards associated with it that augment or extend it in important ways.
1076 was and continues to be a milestone in the design of electronic systems.
Revisions:
1076-1987 First standardized revision of ver 7.2 of the language from the United States Air Force.
1076-1993 (ISBN 1-55937-376-8) Significant improvements resulting from several years of feedback. Probably the most widely used version with the greatest vendor tool support.
1076-2000 Minor revision. Done mainly to meet IEEE requirement that standards are addressed every five years to see if they are still pertinent
1076-200x The name given to future work on the standard going on as of 2004

Most IEEE members are electrical engineers, computer engineers, and computer scientists, but the organization's wide scope of interests has attracted engineers in other disciplines (e.g., mechanical and civil,) as well as biologists, physicists, and mathematicians.
The IEEE Standards Association is in charge of the standardization activities of the IEEE.
The IEEE requires that a proposed draft of the standard receive a response rate of 75% (i.e., at least 75% of potential ballots are returned) and that, of the responding ballots, at least 75% approve the proposed draft of the standard.
