1993 IEEE International Workshop on
DEFECT AND FAULT TOLERANCE IN VLSI SYSTEMS

27-29 October 1993, Venice, Italy



Sponsored by the EUROMICRO Association and the IEEE Computer Society
In cooperation with IFIP WG 10.5, AEI (pending), AICA (pending)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    CALL FOR PAPERS     <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The  goal of this workshop is to provide a discussion  forum  for
researchers  and practitioners dealing with digital,  analog  and
mixed   VLSI   integrated  circuits.  All  aspects   of   design,
manufacturing,  test,  reliability, and  availability  which  are
affected  by  defects during manufacturing and by  faults  during
system operation are of interest.

The  scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited  to,  the
following topics:

Defect and fault tolerant VLSI architectures
Defect and fault tolerant memories
Defect and fault tolerant analog and mixed ICs
Case studies of defect and fault tolerance
Fault models and defect models
Techniques for yield enhancement
Statistical yield modeling
Defect and fault tolerant VLSI systems
Repair and restructuring techniques
Technology issues for defect tolerant architectures
Packaging techniques for WSI, 3-d VLSI, and MCMs
On-line reconfiguration
Run-time fault modeling
Self-testable designs for DFT in VLSI and WSI
Multiple-fault diagnosis
Parametric testing for DFT

Manuscripts  describing novel results from industry are  strongly
encouraged.   Presentations  will consist of regular  papers  (20
min. talk, 10 min. discussion) and short papers (15 min. talk,  5
min.  discussion).  In addition, evening working groups  for  the
continuation  of  discussion initiated during  the  presentations
will be organized.

should  be  sent to one of the Program Chairpersons  as  soon  as
possible, but no later than APRIL 10, 1993.

Notification of acceptance will be posted by June 10, 1993.

Final  manuscripts (10 pages including figures) must be  received
by  AUGUST  1, 1993 for inclusion in  the  workshop  proceedings.
Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
