Thirty-five formal papers from the May 2005 symposium present trends, emerging results, and practical applications in the field of electronic-based circuit and system testing. The authors explore system-on-chip testing, fault and defect models, advanced test generation issues, low cost testing for advanced analog circuits, on-line and BIST techniques for MEMS, validation and molecular electronics, SRAM memory testing, and fault diagnosis. The topics include a unified fault model and test generation procedure for interconnect opens and bridges, on-line testing of MEMS using electro-thermal excitation, a programmable time measurement architecture for embedded memory characterization, and design validation of behavioral VHDL descriptions for arbitrary fault models.
