> In the last two decades, digital design has been greatly influenced
> by hardware description languages (HDL). First, design entry, then
> simulation and synthesis were affected by HDLs and became even more
> important parts of a design process. Digital system test, however,
> has not been affected as much by HDLs. This is in spite of the
> potential that exists in HDLs due to handling of concurrency, data
> representation, and simulatability features. Some of the areas that
> digital system test can benefit from HDLs are implementation of test
> methodologies, testability analysis, test data representation, test
> database standardization, and test architecture design. Other new
> avenues are yet to be explored.
>
> We are dedicating a session of NATW 2001 for HDLs in Test. This
> session is organized to look at existing test applications of HDLs
> and HDL based environments, as well as potentials of HDLs for test
> applications. We are looking for papers on existing test synthesis,
> testbench generation tool, testability insertion tools, test data
> representations, as well as research papers on HDLs in fault simulation,
> fault dictionary representation, test methodology implementation,
> testability analysis methods, random test generation techniques, and
> any other test related application that HDLs can play a role.
>
> We are hoping that this session will help bring together test and HDL
> professionals to see how they can put their efforts together for a
> better integrated design and test environment.
