The IEEE VLSI Test Symposium (VTS) explores emerging trends and novel concepts in testing, and verification / validation of microelectronic circuits and systems. The VTS Program Committee invites original, unpublished paper submissions for VTS 2009. Paper submissions should be complete manuscripts, up to six pages (inclusive of figures, tables, and bibliography) in a standard IEEE two-column format; papers exceeding the page limit will be returned without review. Authors should clearly explain the significance of the work, highlight novel features, and describe its current status.
