WRTLT'02

3rd Workshop on RTL and High Level Testing
November 21-22, 2002
Hyatt Regency Guam, Guam, USA

Held in conjunction with the 11th Asian Test Symposium (ATS'02)

Sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society Test Technology Technical Council

In Corporation with
Technical Group on Dependable Computing, IEICE
_____________________________________________________________________

The purpose of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners
on LSI testing from all over the world together to exchange ideas and
experiences on register transfer level (RTL) and high level testing.

WRTLT'02, the third workshop, will be held in conjunction with the 11th
Asian Test Symposium (ATS'02) in tropical island Guam. We hope and
expect this workshop provides an ideal forum for frank discussion on
this important topic for coming age of system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
Functional fault modeling
RTL ATPG and fault simulation
RTL DFT
RTL BIST
RTL test for design validation
RTL low power test
Relationship between RTL and gate level testing
High level approaches for testing
SoC Testing

Authors are invited to submit paper proposals for presentation at the
workshop. The proposal may be an extended summary (1,000 words) or a
full paper and should include: title, full name and affiliation of all
authors, 50 words abstract, keywords and the name of contact author.

All submissions should be sent to the following address as Postscript
or PDF attachment.

wrtlt02(at)crl.hitachi.co.jp

*IMPORTANT DATES*
Submission deadline : July 31, 2002
Acceptance notification : August 31, 2002
Final version deadline : to be announced
Photocopies of accepted papers will be handed out to the
attendees at the workshop site.

Guam is so-called America's paradise in the Pacific. There are many
sightseeing spots, such as Lover's Point, Plaza de Espana and Fort
Apugan. For more information on tourism, some links can be found at
