                         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 HLDVT workshop is soliciting abstracts for a
work-in-progress (WIP) track. The WIP track aims to provide
researchers with an opportunity to gain early feedback on
work-in-progress or to share early results. 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. The workshop has become a unique forum for
researchers and practitioners to discuss the practical issues
associated with validation of extremely large designs. WIP topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

- Simulation-Based Validation
- Formal Verification and Hybrid Methods
- Design Abstraction & Behavioral Modeling
- Error Trace Interpretation and Debugging
- On-Chip and Core-Based Testing
- Test Generation for Defects, Design Errors, and Delay
- Hardware/Software and Mixed-signal System Co-Validation
- Emulation and Prototyping
- Post-silicon Validation and Debug

Work-In-Progress Submission: The Program Committee invites authors to
submit extended abstracts not to exceed 2 pages (IEEE two-column
conference format with 10pt minimum font size) describing works in
progress. Accepted abstracts will be invited for a short presentation
and a poster session at the workshop. Accepted abstracts will be
published in the HLDVT 2012 proceedings. 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 an
abstract will be considered as evidence that upon acceptance, the
author(s) will present their work at the workshop. For the abstracts
to appear in the program and proceedings, at least one full workshop
registration by an author is required 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.

WIP submission deadline: August 27, 2012
Acceptance Notification:   September 3, 2012
Final manuscript:              September 10, 2012


Questions regarding paper submissions and the program may be addressed
to the program chair: Samar Abdi, programchair at hldvt.com. Other
questions may be addressed to the general chair: Prab Varma,
generalchair at hldvt.com. Additional pertinent information will be made
available at http://www.hldvt.com/12/ .
