Special Session in the IASTED International Conference on Circuits and
Systems (CS 2008)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The IASTED International Conference on Circuits and Systems (CS 2008) will
take place in
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, USA, August 18-20, 2008.
URL: http://www.iasted.org/conferences/cfp-625.html.


Aims and Scope
-------------------------
The main target of the Special Session DTVCS is to bring together
engineering researchers,
computer scientists, practitioners and people from industry to exchange
theories, ideas,
techniques and experiences related to the areas of design, testing and
formal verification techniques
for integrated circuits and systems. Contributions on UML and formal
paradigms based on process algebras,
petri-nets, automaton theory and BDDs in the context of design, testing and
formal verification techniques
for integrated circuits and systems are also encouraged.

Topics
----------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* digital, analog, mixed-signal and RF test
* built-in self test
* ATPG
* theory and foundations: model checking, SAT-based methods, use of PSL,
compositional methods and probabilistic methods
* applications of formal methods: equivalence checking, CSP applications and
transaction-level verification
* verification through hybrid techniques
* verification methods based on hardware description/system-level languages
(e.g. VHDL, SystemVerilog and SystemC)
* testing and verification applications: tools, industrial experience
reports and case studies
