Please note the new submission deadline. Submission Deadline Extended to June 29, 2012 ============================================================== Call for Papers *************************************************************** HLDVT 2012 IEEE International High-Level Design, Validation and Test Workshop http://www.hldvt.com/12/ Huntington Beach, California, November 9-10, 2012 *************************************************************** The seventeenth annual workshop HLDVT 2012 aims to bring together a community of researchers in the areas of design, validation, and test. The workshop addresses the integration of multiple functions on-chip at higher levels of design abstraction, and the techniques and methodologies for modeling, analyzing, and validating such systems. In particular, the workshop has become a unique forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss the practical issues associated with validation of extremely large designs. The topics of interest include (but not limited to): ï Simulation-Based Validation ï Formal Verification and Hybrid Methods ï Design Abstraction & Behavioral Modeling ï Error Trace Interpretation and Debugging ï On-Chip and Core-Based Testing ï Test Generation for Defects, Design Errors, and Delay ï Hardware/Software and Mixed-signal System Co-Validation ï Emulation and Prototyping ï Post-silicon Validation and Debug Paper Submission: The ProgramCommittee invites authors to submit papers not to exceed 8 pages (IEEE two-column conference format with 10pt minimum font size) describing original and unpublished work. Panels and special session proposals are also invited. All submissions must be made electronically in PDF format using the paper submission webpage: http://www.hldvt.com/submissions . Please ensure that all the required contact details are entered during online submission. Paper Publication and Presenter Registration: The submission of a paper or panel proposal will be considered as evidence that upon acceptance, the author(s) will present their paper. For the papers to appear in the program and proceedings, required is at least one full workshop registration by an author before the submission of camera-ready version. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the workshop. Abstract submission deadline: Extended to June 29, 2012 Full paper submission deadline: July 6, 2012 Acceptance Notification: August 10, 2012 Final manuscript: September 9, 2012 Questions regarding paper submissions and the program may be addressed to the program chair: Samar Abdi, programchair@hldvt.com.
