CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE 8th Workshop on RTL and High Level Testing (WRTLT'07)
October 12-13, 2007, Beijing Friendship Hotel, Beijing, P.R.China
   Held in conjunction with the 16th Asian Test Symposium (ATS'07)
Sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society
Test Technology Technical Council
In cooperation with
Technical Committee on Fault Tolerant Computing 
China Computer Federation
Scope
The purpose of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners on LSI testing from all over the world together to exchange ideas and experiences on register transfer level (RTL) and high level testing. 
WRTLT'07, the eighth workshop, will be held in conjunction with the 16th Asian Test Symposium (ATS'07) in Beijing, China. We hope and expect this workshop provides an ideal forum for frank discussion on this important topic for the future system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices.
Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
- Functional fault modeling					- RTL ATPG
- RTL DFT								- RTL BIST
- Relationship between RTL and gate level testing	- Design verification
- High level test bench generation 				- SoC testing
- High level approaches for testing				- Microprocessor testing
Submissions
Authors are invited to submit paper proposals for presentation at the workshop. The proposal may be an extended summary (1,000 words) or a full paper and should include: title, full name and affiliation of all authors, 50 words abstract, keywords and the name of contact author. All submissions should be sent to the following address as Postscript or PDF attachment.
wrtlt07@ict.ac.cn
The submission will be considered evidence that upon acceptance the author(s) will prepare the final manuscript in time for inclusion in the digests and will present the paper at the Workshop.
Key Dates                  
Submission deadline: June 10, 2007
Notification of acceptance: July 24, 2007
Camera-ready copy: August 24, 2007
Workshop: October 12-13, 2007
