Scope and Purpose

Issues related to on-line testing are increasingly important in modern electronic systems. In particular, the huge complexity of electronic systems has led to growth in reliability needs in several application domains as well as pressure for low cost products. There is a corresponding increasing demand for cost-effective on-line testing techniques. These needs have increased dramatically with the introduction of very deep submicron and nanometer technologies which adversely impact noise margins and process parameters variations and make integrating on-line testing and fault tolerance mandatory in many modern ICs. The International On-Line Testing Symposium (IOLTS) is an established forum for presenting novel ideas and experimental data on these areas. The symposium also emphasizes on-line testing in the continuous operation of large applications such as wired, cellular and satellite telecommunication, as well as in secure chips. The Symposium is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Test Technology Technical Council and organized by TIMA Laboratory, University of Athens and University of Piraeus.

The topics include (but are not limited to) the following ones:

Reliability issues in nanometer technologies
On-line testing of analog and mixed signal circuits
On-line test in the continuous operation of large systems
On-line testing in automotive, railway, avionics, industry
On-line current, temperature, etc, monitoring
On-line and off-line built-in self-test
Self-checking circuits and coding theory
Field diagnosis, maintainability and reconfiguration
Dependable systems design
Dependability evaluation
Synthesis of on-line testable circuits
Fault-tolerant and fail-safe systems
On-line power monitoring and control
Radiation effects
Secure circuit design
Fault-based attacks and counter measures

Submissions

The IOLTS Program Committee invites authors to submit papers in the above or related technical areas. Accepted papers will be included in formal Proceedings to be published by the IEEE. Papers must be submitted electronically via the Symposium web site.

The IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (TDSC) is actively soliciting high quality papers in the areas of hardware dependability and security. IOLTS 2008 authors will be invited to submit archival versions of their papers for consideration for publication in IEEE TDSC.

Please observe the following key dates:

Submission deadline: February 20, 2008
Notification of acceptance: April 8, 2008
Camera-ready papers due: April 25, 2008

About the Location

top

Rhodes called from its local people the Rose of the Aegean and deserves its name because is one of the most beautiful Greek islands and one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Mediterranean. Rhodes has been famous since antiquity as the site of Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The citadel of Rhodes, built by the Knights Hospitalliers, is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe. The ancient city of Lindos and the Valley of the Butterflies are other of the main attractions of the island.

IOLTS 2008 will be held in Rodos Palace, the Finest Deluxe Resort Complex on the island (http://www.rodos-palace.gr/).
