Scope

The IEEE Latin-American Test Workshop (LATW) provides an annual forum for test and fault tolerance professionals and technologists from all over the world and in particular from Latin America to present and discuss various aspects of system, board, and component testing and fault-tolerance with design, manufacturing and field considerations in mind. Presented papers are also published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The best papers of the 12th LATW will be invited to re-submit to the IEEE Design and Test of Computers and Journal of Electronic Testing, Theory and Applications (JETTA).

Technical Sponsor: IEEE Computer Society Test Technology Technical Council (TTTC)
Financial Sponsor: Freescale, Synopsys
Organized by: Catholic University – PUCRS (Brazil)

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Analog Mixed Signal Test
