- WORKSHOP ON HIERARCHICAL TEST GENERATION
- August 8-11, 1993
-
- Blacksburg, Virginia USA
-
- Preliminary Call for Participation
-
- Scope. Complex VLSI systems present significant problems for test
- generation. Gate level fault models yield high quality tests, but their
- application to circuits with hundreds of thousands of gates is
- prohibitively expensive. Better approaches to test generation for these
- systems is a necessity. With hardware description languages such as
- VHDL, designs can be described in either a top down or bottom up
- fashion through varying levels of abstraction. However, there is a
- corresponding need for an accompanying set of test generation
- techniques that can work throughout the abstraction hierarchy.
- Designers at different points in the design process need to generate
- tests to validate their design models. In addition, if testability is
- considered early in the design process, test generation at all
- subsequent design phases would be easier. If hierarchical design
- techniques are to be truly effective, corresponding test generation
- techniques must be developed.
-
- The first Workshop on Hierarchical Test Generation will bring
- together researchers from the hardware description language, test, and
- related communities to discuss these issues in a focused and
- interactive forum. Areas of interest include behavior-assisted gate-
- level and switch-level test generation, test construction from sub-
- component tests, and test generation from behavioral models. The
- workshop will assess the current state of hierarchical test generation
- and establish research directions and goals for further development of
- test generation techniques that can be applied to large and complex
- circuits. A concrete, immediate result of the workshop will be the
- creation of a hierarchical test generation model suite that researchers
- can use to evaluate and compare hierarchical test generation
- techniques. Plans for a second workshop, to be held in Germany in
- August 1994, are already underway.
-
- Workshop Location. The first workshop will be held on the campus
- of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Virginia Tech
- is in Blacksburg, Virginia, which is located in the scenic Blue Ridge
- Mountains. Air transportation is provided by the Roanoke, Virginia
- airport.
-
- Participation. To maintain the focused format of the workshop,
- participation will be limited. If you would like to participate, please
- complete and submit the application below. If you would like to speak
- at the workshop, also submit a one-page abstract of your presentation.
- The application and abstract should be submitted to the appropriate
- program chair listed below. Electronic mail submissions are encouraged.
