                       CALL for PAPERS


                             DDECS'98
Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits and Systems
                            Workshop
                  Szczyrk (Hotel Zagron), Poland
                       September 2-4, 1998



DDECS workshop is an annual event organized by Central European
countries; in 1998 it will be held in Poland. The DDECS'98 is
organized by the Silesian Technical University, Gliwice, in
cooperation with the Silesian University, Katowice, and VSB,
Ostrava. It is supported by the Polish Society for Dependable Systems
and the Computer Chapter of the Poland Section of the IEEE.


Background and Aim of the Workshop:

The first international DDECS workshop was held in the Czech
Republic in 1997. The Czech universities' traditional links with
Polish institutions - especially with universities in Silesia,
Poland - suggest that the DDECS, before it develops into an event of
truly international importance, should be organized by Central
European countries. Therefore, in 1998 it will be held in Poland and
in 1999 in Slovakia. The DDECS Workshop has been conceived as a forum
for presenting and discussing trends and hot topics in the area of
electronic circuit and system design and diagnostics. These two areas
are obviously closely related and covering them jointly brings a big
potential for mutual stimulation.The workshop is intended to give
researchers, in particular young investigators coming from both
academia and industry, a chance to present their results and discuss
trends and needs of electronic, telecommunication and computer
industry in the areas related to design and diagnostics. This would
have a very positive effect both on the academic life and industrial
development in Central and Eastern Europe.


Areas of interest:

The proposed workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
-   architecture and logic level synthesis
-   hardware/software codesign
-   ASIC design,
-   design of embedded systems,
-   design of analog and mixed analog/digital systems,
-   component, board and system testing,
-   defect analysis, fault modeling and simulation, test pattern
    generation,
-   design and synthesis for testability, built-in self-test (BIST),
-   mixed-signal and analog testing,
-   test quality and test economics,
-   on-line testing and fault-tolerant systems.


Submission of papers:

Send 5 copies of a camera-ready manuscript of no more than 7 pages by
April 27, 1998. Electronic submissions (in PostScript format) will
also be considered.
Guidelines for the authors can be found at

Accepted papers will be included in the Workshop Proceedings.


Location:

Szczyrk is a small village located in Silesian Beskid Mountains.
It is, besides Zakopane, the most famous center of ski sports
in Poland. Numerous ski routes, tourist paths and bicycle routes and
the chair-lift to the top of Skrzyczne (1257 m) are major attractions.
Hotel Zagron is located on the slope of Klimczok mountain.
Spacious rooms with terraces, a sports center (indoor swimming
pool, fitness center, sauna, billiard), a restaurant and cafe bar
make it a nice place to stay.


Special event:

A one-day excursion to Cracow, former capital of Poland, included
in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list, can be organized for the
interested participants before or after the Workshop.


Deadlines and key dates:
- submission of manuscripts:        April 27, 1998
- notification of acceptance:       June  22, 1998
- workshop sessions:           September 2-4, 1998
