Click here to download the Call for Proposals
Special Sessions
Special sessions must be directly related to the area of VLSI Test – e.g. a session can be created on a special topic related to System-level Test/Debug, Yield Improvement, Reliability, Analog/RF Test, Test Standard, etc. A special session may be an embedded tutorial, a panel discussion on a burning issue, or a hot topic presentation session. Other type of sessions are welcome ( Apprentice, Student Competition, etc)

Embedded Tutorial Session
You may propose a 90-minute session with several tutorial presentations. The person making the proposal may be a speaker or the coordinator who invites the speakers. The proposal must include the title of the session, the profile of the session coordinator, the titles and 200-word abstracts of the tutorials, and profiles of speakers.

Panel Session
You may propose a 90-minute session where a panel consisting of 3 to 4 experts present their views and debate on a topic of interest to the test community. Purely technical and semi-technical topics are both acceptable. The proposal must include the topic of the panel discussion, the expected duration, the profile of the moderator and the panelists.

Hot Topic Session
You may propose a 90-minute session and invite 2 or 3 speakers to make invited presentations on a hot topic. Please avoid making a proposal on a mature topic that attracts regular sessions in the symposium, such as Low Power Test or ATPG. The proposal must include the title of the session, the profile of the session coordinator/chair, the title and abstract of each contribution along with speaker profiles.
