IEEE VLSI Test Symposium 2020

The IEEE VLSI Test Symposium (VTS) explores emerging trends and novel concepts in testing, reliability and security of microelectronic circuits and systems.


The VTS Program Committee invites original, unpublished paper submissions for VTS 2020. Proposals for the innovative practices and special sessions tracks are also invited. 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.

VTS 2020 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 various Student Activities including the TTTC Best Doctoral Thesis Contest, details for which will be made available through the website.
