8th IEEE International On-Line Testing Workshop
Hotel Delos - Isle of Bendor, France
July 8-10, 2002
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM


Introduction
Welcome to the 8th IEEE International On-Line Testing Workshop, the 8th in a series that explores the state of the art in all topics related with on-line testing, fault tolerance, field diagnosis, maintainability, self-repair and reconfiguration. The increased complexity of electronic systems has seen increasing reliability needs in various application domains. Today, these needs are increasing dramatically, since very deep submicron technologies impact adversely noise margins and make mandatory integrating on-line testing and fault-tolerance in modern ICs. This year our program includes two keynotes, 14 paper sessions, one poster session and one panel, addressing all aspects of our field.

The workshop is organized this year back to back with the IEEE International Workshop on Memory Technology, Design, and Testing. The organizers have put together a joint day where the attendees of both events can participate. The participants can also attend the totality of the two events register in both by using the joint registration form included in this program.
