Formal
Proceedings -
Published by IEEE Computer Society, with
ISBN number, and to be
indexed in IEEE Xplore and other bibliographical search engines. The
Formal
Proceedings will be delivered on-site at ETS'08 and distributed to all
attendees of the symposium.
JETTA -
The best contributions will be selected for
submission to regular
issues of the "Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and
Applications" (JETTA), published by Springer.
Web-based
Electronic Informal Digest of Papers
– It will be created and maintained
by the ETS'08
organizers. The Electronic Informal Digest of Papers will be accessible
through
the ETS'08 web site at the time of the symposium (or even some days
before).It
will contain the pdf files of
papers accepted as Poster, as well as those of workshop-type papers,
vendor
session papers and other type of accepted submissions if made available
by the
authors. After the symposium it will also contain the slides of the
corresponding presentations, if made available by the presenter.
Submission
Categories and Review Criteria
ETS'08 distinguishes a number of
submissions categories. Different submission categories have different
review
(and hence, acceptance) criteria. Submissions to a particular category
will be
judged on the criteria of that category and compete for acceptance
against the
other proposals in that category. In principle, it is not allowed to
send one
submission to multiple categories. Also, it is not possible to submit
to one
category, but get accepted in another category. Hence, if you are
planning to
submit to ETS'08, please carefully select your submission category. We distinguish the following paper submission
categories:
Scientific
Papers -
Scientific papers should present novel and
complete research work,
supported by experimental results. Only full papers of a maximum of six
pages
should be submitted. If accepted for oral presentation in front of a
full
audience, the paper will be published in the ETS'08 Formal Proceedings.
If
accepted for poster presentation, the paper will be published in the
ETS'08
Electronic Informal Digest of Papers.
Workshop-type
Papers -
These papers include emerging idea papers
and case study papers. Emerging
idea papers should present novel ideas, but perhaps lack sufficient
supporting
experimental results. Case study papers should present extensive
experimental
results of circuits, methods, or tools which by themselves are not
necessarily
novel. Submissions consisting of Abstracts or Extended Abstracts only
are
accepted, but preference is given to full papers (of a maximum of six
pages).
If accepted for oral presentation in front of a full audience or poster
presentation, the paper can, at the will of the authors, be included in
the
ETS'08 Electronic Informal Digest of Papers.
Vendor
Session Papers -
These technical marketing papers focus on
new features of
test-related products, such as EDA or ATE tools and techniques; true
technical
content is preferred, but a slight commercial undertone is allowed.
Submission
is open to all, but corporate sponsors of ETS'08 will get preferential
treatment in the selection process. Submissions consisting of Abstracts
or
Extended Abstracts only are accepted, but preference is given to full
papers
(of a maximum of length six pages). If accepted for oral presentation
in front
of a full audience, the paper can, at the will of the authors, be
included in
the ETS'08 Electronic Informal Digest of Papers.
In addition, ETS'08 considers the following
submissions:
Special
Sessions -
Proposals for panel sessions, embedded
tutorials, and other special
sessions. Proposers of Special Sessions are assumed to be able and
willing to
serve as organizers of the session, i.e., contact speakers, moderators,
etc.
Special Session organizers can also be speaker or moderator in their
own
proposal.
Full-Day
Tutorials -
Proposals on test technology topics.
Proposers of Full-Day Tutorials
are assumed to be able and willing to serve as organizer of the
tutorial, i.e.
set up the program, contact speakers, etc. Tutorial organizers can also
be
speakers in their own proposal.
Submission
Process
All submissions should be original and
previously unpublished. Only electronic submission of PDF files via the
paper submission
page of the ETS'08
web site are accepted.
Scientific
Papers - Only
full papers of a maximum of six pages should be submitted.
Emerging
Idea, Case
Study, and Vendor Session Papers - Submissions consisting of Abstracts
or
Extended Abstracts only are accepted, but preference is given to full
papers
(of a maximum of six pages).
Special
Sessions -
Submissions of any length are accepted.
Submission
deadline for Scientific Papers, Emerging Idea and Case Study was
extended from December 7,
2007 to December 14, 2007 and is now expired.
Vendor
Session Papers submissions
will be accepted till January
25, 2008.
By means of
their
submission, authors agree to register for and participate in ETS'08, in
case their submission
is accepted for oral presentation or poster presentation.
Paper submissions should be formatted as
close as possible to the final format: US
letter (for the Formal
Proceedings) or A4 (for the Informal Digest of Papers) pages, a maximum
of six
pages, double column, single spaced, Times or equivalent font of
minimum 10pt.
Acceptance/Rejection Notification
Multiple members of the ETS'08 Program
Committee, all experts in test technology, will review your submission.
Your
submission will be reviewed according to the description of its
submission
category. At the TPC meeting early in February 2008, accept and reject
decisions will be taken, of which you will be notified by February 17,
2008.
You will also receive the review ratings for and comments on your
submission.
Final
Manuscripts
As specified in the table below, ETS'08
distinguishes four types of accepted submissions.
Your
Scientific Paper
submission has been accepted for oral presentation. In that case, you
must
prepare a final manuscript of a maximum of 6 pages US letter for
inclusion in
the Formal Proceedings.
Your
Emerging Idea, Case
Study, or Vendor Session Paper has been accepted for oral presentation.
In that
case, you are invited to prepare a final manuscript of a maximum of 6
pages A4
for inclusion in the Electronic Informal Digest of Papers.
Your submission has been accepted for poster
presentation. In that case, you are invited to prepare a final
manuscript of a
maximum of 6 pages A4 for inclusion in the Electronic Informal Digest
of Papers.
