Scope

The IEEE European Test Symposium (ETS) is Europe’s premier forum dedicated to presenting and discussing scientific results, emerging ideas, practical applications, hot topics, and new trends in the area of electronic-based circuit and system testing.

In 2011 ETS will take place in Trondheim, Norway and is being organized by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and sponsored by the Test Technology Technical Council (TTTC) of the IEEE Computer Society. Norway is known for its white summer nights; during the week of ETS’11 the sun will rise in Trondheim well before 4am and set close to 11pm.

ETS’11 is offering commercial vendors the opportunity to give technical presentations in a track parallel to the technical paper sessions. These presentations will be listed in the symposium program along with the technical sessions, and should be targeted to the ETS technical audience. The Vendor Sessions differ from other ETS presentations in that company names, logos, and product names may be mentioned explicitly. Typical content includes product descriptions, case studies, best practices, and user testimonials.

Presentation opportunities of 30-minute duration are available on a first-come first-served basis, but priority will be given to those companies that are also corporate supporters of ETS’11 – see below. Attendance at the sessions is open to all symposium attendees, and vendor representatives will be able to hand out literature at the session. Proposals for the Vendor Sessions should be technical or application focused, rather than overtly sales-and-marketing focused. Proposal selection is based on the technical content and relevance to ETS’11 audience and topics. The areas of interest of ETS’11 include (but are not limited to) the following topics:

Analog Test
ATE Hardware and Software
Automatic Test Generation
Board Test and Diagnosis
Boundary Scan Test
Built-In Self Test (BIST)
Current-Based Test
Defect-Based Test
Delay and Performance Test
Dependability
Design for Test(ability) (DfT)
Design Verification and Validation

Corporate Support

top

Every year, ETS is financially supported by several companies. The support money is used to reduce the registration fees and hence make the event more accessible to all its attendees. In return, the corporate supporters are allowed to make publicity in various ways. ETS has defined four different support grades (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum), each with different support amounts and publicity options. To find out more, contact Erik Jan Marinissen or Knut Båtstoløkken, details below.
