Call for Papers
The VTS Program Committee invites original, unpublished paper submissions for VTS 2013. 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. On the title page, please include: author name(s) and affiliation(s), and the mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address of the contact author. A 50-word abstract and five keywords identifying the topic area are also required.

Proposals for the Innovative Practices and Special Sessions tracks are also invited. The innovative practices track highlights cutting-edge challenges faced by test practitioners, and innovative solutions employed to address them. Special sessions can include panels, embedded tutorials, or hot topic presentations. Innovative practices and special session track proposals should include a title, name and contact information of the session organizer(s), a 150-to-200 word abstract, and a list of prospective participants.

All submissions are to be made electronically through the VTS website. The deadline for all submissions is October 19th 2012. Detailed instructions for submissions are to be found at the symposium website http://www.tttc-vts.org. Authors will be notified of the disposition of their papers by December 21st, 2012. A submission will be considered as commitment that, upon acceptance, the author(s) will submit a final camera-ready version of the paper for inclusion in the symposium proceedings and will present the paper at the symposium. The registration of at least one author is required for publication. The organizing committee of VTS reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the symposium (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the symposium. Note that VTS 2013 does not offer a single-day registration option or travel-assistance grants. In the case of innovative practices and special sessions, the organizers commit to submitting a session title, abstract, and a list of participants for inclusion in the symposium proceedings.

VTS 2013 will present a Best Paper Award, a Best Special Session Award, and a Best Innovative Practices Session Award based on the evaluations of reviewers, attendees, and an invited panel of judges. We also plan to organize a Student Poster Competition and a TTTC Best Doctoral Thesis Contest, details for which will be available through the VTS website at a later date. The best paper of VTS 2013 and the best Innovative Practices presentation will be invited to resubmit to the IEEE Design & Test of Computers and will undergo the regular, but expedited, review process of this periodical.

TTTC Test Technology Educational Program (TTEP) tutorials on emerging test technology topics will be offered in conjunction with VTS 2013. Tutorial proposals should be submitted according to TTEP 2013 submission deadlines, which will be posted on http://computer.org/tab/tttc/teg/ttep.
