SYMPOSIUM OVERVIEW
The Asian Test Symposium provides an international forum for engineers
and researchers from all countries of the world, especially from Asia,
to present and discuss various aspects of system, board, and device
testing with design, manufacturing, and field considerations in mind.
INVITATION TO NARA
Nara is often called the "cradle of Japanese civilization" or the
"fountainhead of Japan's art and culture." This city, 26 miles south of
Kyoto, is even older than Kyoto, having been the first permanent national
capital during the 8th century. We are pleased to propose hosting the
Third Asian Test Symposium, ATS'94, in this historic city, Nara, in 1994.
Following the symposia in Hiroshima and Beijing, this meeting in Nara also
aims at providing an Asian and international forum for the presentation
of the latest research and advanced development in test and design
technologies.
