Call for Papers
The International Design and Test Symposium is an IEEE-sponsored workshop devoted to exploring emerging
challenges and novel concepts related to the design and test, automation, reliability of electronic products ranging from
integrated circuits through multi-chip modules and printed circuit boards to full systems and microsystems. IDT provides
unique forum to discuss best practices and novel ideas in design methods, tools, test and reliability in the Middle East and
Africa (MEA) region. The Symposium is initiated by and in affiliation with the IEEE Test Technology Technical Council
(TTTC) and the 2014 edition is organized and sponsored by CDTA (Centre de Développement des Technologies Avancées)
in collaboration with Nano Micro Electronics Micro and Nano Systems National Network and Blida1University. It is also
sponsored by IEEE CEDA (Council on Electronic Design Automation). The official language of the conference is
English. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Design Methods and Tools
Test and Reliability
 SOC, SIP and NOC design
 Multiprocessor systems
 Embedded systems
 Analog, Mixed Signal and RF Design
 Design of MEMS and MOEMS
 Low Voltage and Low Power syst.
 Innovative technologies
 Real time systems
 Simulation, Validation & Verification
System Specification and Modeling
Formal Methods and Verification
System Design/Synthesis/Optimization
 SOC and SIP testing
 Multiprocessor test
 Memory & FPGA Test & repair
 Delay testing
 Analog and Mixed Signal testing
 MEMS/MOEMS testing
 Defect and fault modeling
 DFT, BIST and BISR
 On-line testing / fault tolerant syst.
Fault Simulation, ATPG
Reliability failures/ modeling
Circuit reliability
Electronic system reliability
Regular Submissions: IDT’14 invites original, unpublished paper submissions. Paper submissions should be
complete manuscripts, not exceeding six pages (inclusive of figures, tables, and bibliography) in a standard IEEE twocolumn format. Authors should clearly explain the significance of the work, highlight novel features and describe its
current status. All submissions are to be made electronically through the IDT’14 website. Detailed instructions for
submissions are to be found at the IDT’14 website. A submission will be considered as evidence that, upon acceptance, the
author(s) will prepare the final camera-ready version of the paper in time for inclusion in the proceedings, and will present
the paper at the conference.All papers will be taken into consideration for the IDT 2014 Best Paper Award. In
addition, a set of best papers will be considered for IEEE Design and Test.
Special proposals: Special Sessions can take any form such as (a) Hot-Topic session addressing and discussing the
challenges in topics of interest such as Design and Test related issues, (b) (Embedded) tutorials introducing and discussing
topics of interest to conference attendees, (c) Panels discussing visionary and/or controversial issues, etc. Special Session
proposals consist of an extended summary of up to 1500 words as PDF file, describing the session content and format,
and must be submitted via electronically through the IDT’14 website.
