As part of an industry wide effort IEEE is in the process of standardizing the elements of test technology such that plug & play can be achieved when testing SoC designs. This standard under development is a language namely, Core Test Language (CTL), which is introduced in this paper. CTL describes all necessary information for test pattern reuse and the needs of test during system integration....

Built-In Self-Test (BIST) techniques constitute an attractive and practical solution to the problem of testing VLSI circuits and systems. Input vector monitoring concurrent BIST schemes perform testing concurrently with the operation of the circuit. In this paper a novel input vector monitoring concurrent BIST scheme is presented that compares favorably to previously proposed schemes with respe...

Recently, substantial research effort has focused on how to apply CNNs or RNNs to better extract temporal patterns from videos, so as to improve the accuracy of video classification. In this paper, however, we show that temporal information, especially longer-term patterns, may not be necessary to achieve competitive results on common video classification datasets. We investigate the potential ...

Among significant components of testing cost are testlength, reject ratio, and lost-yield. In this paper a new approach is proposed to estimate the reject ratio. The empirical model is based on test-data properties that are believed to be invariant for a wide range of manufacturing technologies and types of tests. The analysis is carried out entirely in terms of the device test data, as might b...

Ever-increasing test data volume and excessive test power are two of the main concerns of VLSI testing. The ‘‘don’t-care’’ bits (also known as X-bits) in given test cube can be exploited for test data compression and/or test power reduction, and these techniques may contradict to each other because the very same X-bits are likely to be used for different optimization objectives. This paper prop...

Software testing is one method of revealing faults in a system's design or implementation. In the past, software testing has been described as potentially the most expensive aspect of a system's development. A recently completed three year study into the generation of test cases from design models, suggests that the software industry must develop automated techniques of system testing. Other re...

Meaningful comparison of algorithms for search, extraction and aggregation across heterogeneous sources will require welldesigned benchmarks, preferably based on freely available test collections. In this paper, we discuss issues which will inevitably arise during the construction of such benchmarks. We argue that the creation of benchmarks requires careful consideration of the evaluation metho...

Wireless PPG devices were developed and embedded in everyday clothes (bandage, scarf, cycling glove and wrist strap) to monitor cardiovascular state of free-moving persons. The corresponding software for measurements also has been developed and tested in laboratory. Real-time measurements of PPG signals were taken in parallel with a professional ECG reference device, and high correlation was de...
