WRTLT'04

5th Workshop on RTL and High Level Testing
November 11-12, 2004, International House, Osaka, Japan

Held in conjunction with the 13th Asian Test Symposium (ATS'04)

Sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society Test Technology Technical Council In cooperation with
Technical Group on Dependable Computing, IEICE Information Processing Society of Japan Kansai Branch

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'04, the fifth workshop, will be held in conjunction with the 13th Asian Test Symposium (ATS'04) in Taiwan. We hope and expect this workshop provides an ideal forum for frank discussion on this important topic for coming age of 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
● High level approaches for testing
● SoC Testing

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.

wrtlt04(at)dsgn.im.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp

IMPORTANT DATES
● Submission deadline: July 31, 2004.
● Acceptance notification: August 31, 2004.
● Final version deadline: to be announced.

Photocopies of accepted papers will be handed out to the attendees at the workshop site.
