Call for Papers

The IEEE European Test Symposium (ETS) is Europe’s premier forum dedicated to presenting and discussing scientific results, emerging ideas, applications, hot topics and new trends in the area of electronic-based circuits and system testing, reliability, security and validation. ETS’22 will be held in Casa Convalescència, located in the historical modernist site Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (World Heritage Site by UNESCO, 1997) 10 minutes walking from the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. On-line participation will be possible (see COVID19 Status menu). ETS’22 is organized by UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya).

The program includes keynotes, scientific paper presentations, panels, tutorials, workshops and highlights/demos from industry. Besides regular technical papers, ETS’22 provides the opportunity of submitting scientific contributions for hot-topic papers and case-study papers (each with specific evaluation criteria). Submissions are also solicited for special sessions, tutorials, panels and workshops, as well as for the PhD Forum. Linked to the main ETS’22 symposium, the Test Spring School and Fringe Workshops will be organized.

You are invited to participate and submit your contributions to ETS'22. The areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following topics:.
