Safety-critical designs used in automotive applications need to ensure reliable operations
even under hostile operating conditions. As these designs grow in size and complexity, they …

The increasing complexity of products and processes leads directly to the growing intricacy
of the problems and issues the industrial world is facing. More and more often, traditional …

The ASIC design flow is rapidly moving towards higher description levels, and most design
activities are now performed at the RT-level. However, test-related activities are lacking …

Software-based self-testing (SBST) is introduced for at-speed testing of processors, which is
difficult with any of the external testing techniques. Evolutionary approaches are used for the …

The paper examines the potentialities of genetic algorithms (GAs) with respect to the
development of high-level TPGs. It summarizes at first the most relevant test pattern …

Discrete event modeling allows designing an easy-to-handle and reusable representation of
a system but, in its classical form, only permits one simulation at a time for a system …

The paper proposes a novel high-level approach for implementation-independent
generation of functional software-based self test programs for processors with RISC …

Test of peripheral modules has not yet been deeply investigated by the research community.
When embedded in a system on a chip, peripheral cores introduce new issues for post …

Testing of digital circuits has traditionally been done using fault models at the gate level or
below. Use of these lower level fault models adds complexity and delays testing efforts to …

This work presents a development approach for mixed reality systems in health care.
Although health-care service costs account for 5–15% of GDP in developed countries the …
