WRTLT'03, the fourth workshop, will be held in conjunction with the 12th Asian Test Symposium (ATS'03) in Xi'an, P.R.China. It will provide anideal forum for frank discussions on this important topic of wide range, especially for coming age of system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices.Areas of interest include but are not limited to:*	Functional fault modeling*	RTL ATPG*	RTL DFT*	RTL BIST*	Relationship between RTL and gate level testing*	High level approaches for testing / verification*	SoC TestingAuthors 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 [email protected] DatesSubmission deadline: August 15, 2003 (Extended)Acceptance notification : September 10, 2003Final version deadline : October 15, 2003Photocopies of accepted papers will be handed out to the attendees at the workshop site.Organizing CommitteeGeneral Chair:Xiaowei LiInstitute of Computing Technology, CASlxw(at)ict.ac.cnProgram Chair:Huawei LiInstitute of Computing Technology, CASlihuawei(at)ict.ac.cnFinance Chair:Jianguo SunInstitute of Computing Technology, CASjgsun(at)ict.ac.cnLocal Arrangement Chair:Shi WangXi'an Microelectronics Technology Inst.Registration Chair:Tao LvInstitute of Computing Technology, CASEmail: lvtao(at)ict.ac.cnProgram CommitteeMembers:Kazuhiko Iwasaki, JapanTerumine Hayashi, JapanKewal K.
