Submissions Due: 15 March 2021

The IEEE European Test Symposium (ETS) is Europe’s premier forum dedicated to presenting and  discussing scientific results, emerging ideas, hot topics, and new trends, industrial case-studies and  applications, in the area of electronic-based circuits and system testing, reliability, safety, security and validation. The 2021 edition of ETS will be a virtual one. The organizing team will strive to keep the spirit  of ETS alive, by organizing an event with live sessions and many opportunities for networking and peer  interaction. ETS’21 is organized jointly by imec and KU Leuven, which co-sponsor the event together  with the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA).

The program includes keynotes, scientific paper presentations, panels, tutorials, workshops and  highlights/demos from industry. Besides regular technical papers, ETS’21 provides the opportunity of submitting scientific contributions for hot-topic papers and case-study papers (each with specific
evaluation criteria). Submissions are also solicited for special sessions, panels, tutorials and workshops,  as well as for the PhD Forum. Linked to the main ETS’21 symposium, the Test Spring School and Fringe  Workshops will be organized.

Submissions:

ETS’21 seeks original, unpublished contributions of the following types:

  • Scientific Papers for the Formal Proceedings: 
    • Regular Papers, presenting novel and complete research work 
    • Hot-Topic Papers, presenting early innovative ideas with in-progress results, emerging  and future test/reliability/safety problems, or identifying open problems that merit  innovative future research 
    • Case-Study Papers, presenting relevant industrial (or industrial collaboration) data that  demonstrate a previously published concept, or that can help further research  advancements. 
  • PhD Forum Contributions from students eager to discuss their on-going research.
  • Proposals for Panels, Embedded Tutorials, Special Sessions and Fringe Workshops.
  • Industrial Presentations and Demos focusing on new features of test/reliability/safety related products.

ETS’21 will produce Formal Proceedings of scientific papers with ISBN number that will  be included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. All accepted technical papers submitted in one of the  three categories (regular, hot topic, and case study) will be included in the formal Proceedings (each  following its own guidelines). Extended versions of selected papers will be invited for submission in an  IEEE Journal Special Issue dedicated to ETS’21.
