IMSTW 2007 - Call for Papers

CALL FOR PAPERS

Submission Deadline Extended to March 4, 2007!

Scope

The diversity of applications of electronic systems has led to a significant growth in their complexity, particularly when mixed signals and technologies are involved in the same substrate. The IEEE International Mixed Signals Testing Workshop (IMSTW) is a forum for discussing all aspects of testing, design-for-test and reliable design of integrated mixed signals/technologies, functions, and systems. This includes testing, design verification, and design for manufacturability of monolithic mixed signals/technologies systems (SoC), heterogeneous systems including system-in-package and printed circuit board implementations of mixed-signal functions.

The technology spectrum includes analogue, mixed signals, high-speed IO, RF, MEOMS (inc. bio-chemical and microfluidics), sensor networks, and nanotechnology. Test topics include, but are not restricted to:

design-for-test techniques
BIST
fault diagnosis
test generation
on-line and off-line testing
fault modeling and simulation
design of fault tolerant systems
mixed signals infrastructures
embedded core test
application specific testing topics

Submissions

The Program Committee invites authors to submit papers in the above areas. Submissions should be via the workshop website and consist of either an extended summary of at least 750 words or a full paper. Authors of accepted submissions will be encouraged, though not required, to prepare a final version of their paper to be included in the informal Workshop proceedings. A special issue of a journal will be published based on selected papers from the Workshop.

Key Dates:

Submission deadline: March 4th, 2007
Notification of acceptance: April 6th, 2007
Camera-ready full papers: May 6th, 2007

About the Location

The Workshop will take place in the Novotel Vermar Hotel in the city of Póvoa de Varzim. Located 18 km north of the Porto International airport, and with easy access to downtown Porto, Póvoa de Varzim lies in a sandy coastal plain in the northwest region of the country known as Costa Verde. Inland, there are several historic and interesting cities, towns and villages that fascinate the passing tourist and bear testimony of the ancient beginnings of modern Portugal.
