The IEEE European Test Symposium (ETS) is Europe’s premier forum dedicated to presenting and discussing scientific results, emerging ideas, applications, hot topics and new trends in the area of electronic-based circuits and system testing. In 2014, ETS will take place in the Heinz Nixdorf Forum in Paderborn. It is organized by the University of Paderborn, which co-sponsors the event jointly with the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) and the Test Technology Technical Council (TTTC). ETS also features a special track on Emerging Test Strategies (ETS2), where new problems and ideas can be discussed in an informal atmosphere. A Test Spring School will be organized in conjunction with ETS’14.

You are invited to participate and submit your contributions to ETS’14. The areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following topics:

Analog Test
ATE Hardware and Software
Automatic Test Generation
Board Test and Diagnosis
Boundary Scan Test
Built-In Self-Test (BIST)

Publications

ETS’14 will produce Formal Proceedings of scientific papers. The best contributions will be selected for submission to regular issues of the Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and Applications (JETTA), published by Springer and IEEE Design & Test of Computers. The Best Paper Award of ETS’14 will be presented at ETS’15.

Submissions

ETS’14 seeks original, unpublished contributions of the following types:

Scientific papers for the Formal Proceedings, presenting novel and complete research work.
Contributions for the special track on Emerging Test Strategies.
Proposals for panels, embedded tutorials, and other special sessions.
Vendor presentations focusing on new features of test related products.
Detailed submission instructions, including selection criteria and publication policies, for the various types of contributions are posted [here]. The ETS’14 organizing committee strongly encourages the organization of fringe meetings and workshops.
