CALL FOR PAPERS
The IEEE Latin-American Test Workshop (LATW) provides an annual forum for test and fault tolerance professionals and technologists from all over the world and in particular from Latin America to present and discuss various aspects of system, board, and component testing and fault-tolerance with design, manufacturing and field considerations in mind. Presented papers are also published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The best papers of the 14th IEEE LATW will be invited to re-submit to the IEEE Design and Test of Computers, Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and Applications (JETTA) and the Journal of Low Power Electronics (JOLPE).


Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Analog Mixed Signal Test
- Automatic Test Generation
- Built-In Self-Test
- Defect-Based Test
- Design and Synthesis for Testability
- Design for Electromagnetic Compatibility
- Design for Reliable Embedded Software
- Design Verification/Validation
- Economics of Test
- Fault Analysis and Diagnosis
- Fault Modeling and Simulation
- Fault-Tolerance in HW/SW
- Fault-Tolerant Architectures
- Memory Test and Repair
- On-Line Testing
- Process Control and Measurements

LATW 2013 will take place in Cordoba, called the Heartland of Argentina for its location near the geographical center of the country. The National University of Cordoba is one of the oldest universities in America and the oldest in Argentina. Cordoba has a strong colonial history combined with interesting native heritage and wonderful urban and natural sites that make it a privilege place for tourism. It has a lot of historical monuments that were declared Heritage of all Humanity by UNESCO. All others touristic
places in Argentina, such as the Cataratas del Iguazú, Mendoza, Calafate, Patagonia, can be very easily reached from Cordoba, by plane or any other type of transportation due to its strategic location. The aeronautic and aerospace activities are also centered in Cordoba, together with several international software and electronic industries that are continuously established there, due to the large scientific and technologic heritage, human resources and facilities available in this wonderful place.
