Following the very successful 9th Board Test Workshop (BTW) held in Fort Collins, the BTW Organizing Committee is organizing the eighth BTW event, which will be hosted in Fort Collins, Colorado. BTW10 will focus on current issues and trends related to board test. Similar to prior Board Test workshops, perspectives are invited from contract manufacturers, test equipment providers, researchers, end users and systems providers.
BTW10 is sponsored by the IEEE Philadelphia Section, in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society, the IEEE Centennial Subsection and the Test Technology Technical Council (TTTC) and is supported by the Board Test Technical Activities Committee (BTTAC)
