Overview

top

The Design, Automation and Test in Europe conference and exhibition is the main European event bringing together design automation researchers, users and vendors, as well as specialists in the design, test, and manufacturing of electronic systems and circuits. One of the tracks of DATE is devoted to Methods, Tools and Innovative Experiences in Testing Electronic Circuits and Systems. At DATE 2006, we aim at the increase in the test area, and would really like to invite you to submit your contributions to the test track.

This five-day event consists of a conference with plenary keynotes, regular papers, interactive presentations, panels and hot-topic sessions, tutorials, master courses and workshops, as well as a Designers’ Forum. DATE is also Europe’s leading commercial exhibition showing the state-of-the-art in design and test tools, methodologies, IP and design services. Both the conference and the exhibition, together with the many user group meetings, fringe meetings, university booth and social events offer a wide variety of opportunities to meet and exchange information.

Test Topic Areas

top

The test track is organized in six topics. These topics together with their chairs and area descriptions are given as follows.

C1 Defect-Based Testing and Test of Regular Structures
Chairs: Jaume Segura, Univ Baleares, ES; Rob Aitken, ARM, US

Defect-based testing including non-visual, physical level, and parameter variation considerations: defect modeling, defect diagnosis, failure analysis, yield analysis, parameter variation induced faults, fault modeling, IDDx testing, Very Low Voltage testing, multiparameter testing, temperature testing, signal integrity and test methods analysis. Test techniques for regular structures such as RAM, FPGA, EEPROM, and flash memory.

C2 Analogue, Mixed-Signal, RF and Mixed-Technology Test
Chairs: Adoracion Rueda, IMSE-CNM, ES; Abhijit Chatterjee, Georgia Inst. of Tech., US

Analogue and mixed-signal test techniques; low cost test of RF and multi-GHz electronics; testing of embedded MEMs/bio-MEMs/optics sensors and sensor electronics; fault modeling and fault coverage metrics; test stimulus generation and response analysis; design-for-testability (DFT) and built-in self-test (BIST); self-calibration for BIST; case studies on the application of advanced test methods to industrial ICs and SoCs.

C3 Test Generation, Simulation and Diagnosis
Chairs: Matteo Sonza Reorda, Politecnico di Torino, IT; Patrick Girard, LIRMM, FR

Test pattern generation; high-level TPG; delay TPG; fault simulation; test generation for validation, debug and diagnosis; low-power TPG; TPG for memories and FPGAs.

C4 Design for Test and BIST
Chairs: Hans-Joachim Wunderlich, Stuttgart U, DE; Sybille Hellebrand, Paderborn U, DE

Design for test, debug and manufacturability; built-in self-test and built-in diagnosis; synthesis for testability; test resource partitioning, embedded test; test data compression; scan-based test and diagnosis; BIST for memories and regular structures.

C5 Hierarchical, System, and Industrial Test
Chairs: Erik Jan Marinissen, Philips Research, NL; Rainer Dorsch, IBM Deutschland Entwicklung, DE

Testing throughout various hierarchy levels: embedded cores, System-on-Chip, System-in-Package, board, system; Network-on-Chip test; system-level debug and validation; hardware/software system test; processor-based test; infrastructure IP. Industrial test: test equipment, including ATE hardware and software, probe stations, handlers; multi-site testing; economics of test; case studies.

C6 On-Line Testing, Fault Tolerance, and Reliability
Chairs: Cecilia Metra, Bologna U, IT; Fabrizio Lombardi, Northeastern U, US

Transient fault evaluation; soft error susceptibility; on-line testing and fault tolerance for signal integrity; concurrent monitors and diagnosis; robust design; coding techniques; in-field testing and diagnosis; on-line testing; high availability systems; high reliability systems; reliability and dependability evaluation; safety; security; availability; reliability; hardware/software recovery; self-repair; fault tolerance; on-line testing and fault tolerance for industrial applications.

Submission Instructions

top

All manuscripts must be submitted for review electronically, following the instructions on the conference Web page:

www.date-conference.com

The accepted file formats are PDF and Postscript. Manuscripts received in hard-copy form will not be processed.
Papers can be submitted for either standard oral presentation or for interactive presentation. Standard oral presentations require novel and complete research work supported by experimental results, and are held in front of a full audience. Interactive presentations present novel ideas that may require additional research or lack experimental data, and are given on a laptop in a face-to-face discussion area.
Submissions should not exceed 6 pages in length for oral-presentation and 2 pages in length for interactive-presentation papers, and should be formatted as close as possible to the final format: A4 or letter sheets, double column, single spaced, Times or equivalent font of minimum 10pt (templates are available on the DATE Web site for your convenience). To permit blind review, submissions should not include the author names, nor any other references to the authors. Any submission not in line with the above rules will be discarded.
All papers will be evaluated with regard to their suitability for the conference, originality and technical soundness. The Program Committee reserves the right to accept interesting contributions that do not meet the criteria for standard oral presentations, as interactive presentations.

Paper Submission deadline September 11, 2005
Notification of acceptance November 14, 2005
Camera-ready paper due date December 3, 2005
