All aspects of design, manufacturing, test, reliability, and availability which are affected by defects during manufacturing and by faults during system operation are of interest. The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: Defect and fault tolerant architectures Defect and fault tolerant memories Defect and fault tolerant analog and mixed ICs Case studies of defect and fault tolerance Fault models and defect models CAD tools Techniques for yield enhancement Statistical yield modeling Repair and restructuring techniques Technology issues for defect tolerant architectures Packaging techniques for WSI, 3-D VLSI, and MCMs On-line reconfiguration Run-time fault modeling Testable and self-testable designs for VLSI and WSI Test coverage and test quality Testing of mixed signal ICs Three kinds of presentations are planned: tutorials (45 min. talk, 15 min. discussion), regular papers (25 min. talk, 10 min. discussion), and short presentations (5 min. description of current research or a problem to be solved, 10 min. discussion). In addition, evening working groups for the continuation of discussions initiated during the presentations will be organized General Chair: Program Chair: Wojciech Maly D. M. H.

Regular paper submissions should be a full paper of at least 10 pages, or an extended summary of 5 pages of text plus an unlimited number of figures. Short presentation submissions should be a two-page abstract. For regular papers, preference will be given to full-length submissions. Proposals and requests for tutorials, panel discussions, and working groups should be sent to the General Chair as soon as possible, but no later than April 15, 1991. Notification of acceptance will be posted by July 8, 1991. Final manuscripts (20 pages including figures for tutorials, 14 pages including figures for regular papers, and 3 pages including figures for short presentations) must be received by August 30, 1991 for inclusion in the workshop proceedings. A formal proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. IMPORTANT DATES May 1, 1991 Submission Deadline July 8, 1991 Acceptance Notification August 30, 1991 Final Manuscript Due LOCATION Hidden Valley is a resort in the Laurel Mountains about one hour east of Pittsburgh. Shuttle bus transportation from the Pittsburgh International Airport will be provided.
