IEEE 8th IEEE International Workshop on Silicon Debug and Diagnosis
(SDD 2012)

November 8-9, 2012
Anaheim, California, USA

Immediately following the 2012 International Test Conference

http://sdd.tttc-events.org

CALL FOR PAPERS
Scope

Troubleshooting how and why systems and circuits fail is important and is rapidly growing in industry significance. Debug and diagnosis may be needed for yield improvement, process monitoring, correcting the design function, failure mode learning for R&D, or just getting a working first prototype. This detective work is however very tricky. Sources of difficulty include circuit and system complexity, packaging, limited physical access, shortened product creation cycle and time-to-market. New and efficient solutions for debug and diagnosis have a much needed and highly visible impact on productivity.

SDD 2012 will be held in Anaheim, California, USA. It is the eighth of a series of highly successful technical workshops that consider issues related to debug & diagnosis of semiconductor circuits and systems - from prototype bring-up to volume production. 

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Debug Techniques and Methodologies
Design for Debug
DFT Reuse for Debug and Diagnosis
Manufacturing & Prototype Environment
Debug Standardization
Case Studies
3D Stacked IC Debug

Microprocessor, FPGA, IP, SOC Debug
Infrastructure IP for SDD
System Level Debug & Diagnosis
Emulation & Hardware Acceleration
Linking Pre-silicon Verification to Post-silicon Validation
SDD vs. Yield & TTM
Silicon Debug & Diagnosis Tools and Automation

 

Submissions

The workshop objective is to facilitate an interactive information exchange. Extended abstracts and papers may be short. Proposals that describe open issues, industry/technology needs or opinions are valuable to the program. The SDD 2012 workshop does not have a formal proceedings, however an informal digest of papers will be distributed to the workshop participants. Furthermore, the authors of the best contributions to the SDD 2012 workshop will be invited by the program and general chair to submit an extended version of their work to a special section on Silicon Debug and Diagnosis to be published by IEEE Design & Test of Computers in Summer 2013.

Length Guideline: ranging from one page extended abstract to 8 pages.

Proposals for discussion panels, new topics and other special sessions are also invited. Much of the success of the event has been a result of crafting sessions based on participant interest. Please submit a 1 page abstract or discuss the issue with Program or Special Sessions Chairs.

Key Dates

Submission deadline: September 7, 2012
Notification of acceptance:September 29, 2012
Final copy deadline: October 22, 2012
