We expect this workshop to provide an ideal forum for frank discussion on this important topic for the future system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices.
　

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
    - Functional fault modeling                                        - RTL ATPG
    - Microprocessor testing                                           - RTL BIST
    - Relationship between RTL
      and gate level testing                                               - Design verification
    - High level test bench generation                            - SoC testing
    - High level approaches for testing                          - RTL DFT
