__________________________________________________________

The Workshop on RTL ATPG & DFT (WRTLT) provides an
international forum for interchanging ideas and
implementation experiences on register transfer (RT)
level automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) and design
for testability (DFT). For systems on chip (SOC) devices,
it has become a real hot topic to improve VLSI
testability using high-level descriptions. Now in its
2nd year, just after the ATS'01, papers are solicited on
all aspects of RT-level testing techniques. Photocopies
of accepted papers will be handed out at the workshop
site. We hope and expect the workshop will provide all
participants with new ideas and food for thought through
informal interactions and discussions.

Topics of interests include (but not limited to):
Functional fault modeling
RT-level ATPG
RT-level DFT
RT-level BIST
Relationship between RT-level and gate-level testing

Nara is an ancient capital of Japan. In the end of
November, you can enjoy not only a beautiful combination
of red and yellow autumnal leaves but also historical
shrines and temples. For more on tourism, a couple of
links will be found at the above site.
