The workshop is intended to give researchers, in particular young scientists coming from both academia and industry a chance to present their ideas and results and get a feedback from the international community active in the field.

Additionally, several invited speakers and plenary discussions will address the trends and needs in the areas of design and test technologies and applications.

The proposed topics include, but are not limited to:

• Novel architectures for SOC
• Modeling and simulation for SOC
• Virtual Components and IP based Design
• Web based collaborative engineering
• New trends in ASIC/FPGA design
• Hardware-software co-design
• Formal methods in system design
• Bio-inspired hardware
• Testability issues: DFT, BIST, BOST, Test reuse
• Defect-oriented/Specification-oriented testing
• On-line testing and safety
• Analogue and mixed signal circuit testing
• Alternative test methodologies: IDDQ/IDDT/delay
• Test and design quality and economics
