<br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &#39;times new roman&#39;, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">HLDVT 2009 is the fourteenth in a series of annual workshops designed to <br>
bring together a community of researchers in the areas of design, validation, <br>and test. The workshop revolves around a common theme of addressing the <br>

integration of multiple functions on-chip at higher levels of design <br>abstraction, and the techniques and methodologies for modeling, analyzing, <br>and validating such systems. In particular, the workshop has become a unique <br>


forum in recent years for researchers and practitioners to discuss the <br>practical issues associated with simulation and validation of extremely <br>large designs. For detailed information, please visit </span></span><a href="http://www.hldvt.com/09/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &#39;times new roman&#39;, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">http://www.hldvt.com/09/</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &#39;times new roman&#39;, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br>
<br>The topics of interest include (but not limited to):<br>Simulation-Based Validation<br>Formal Verification<br>Specification-based Design and Validation<br>Error Trace Analysis and Debug<br>Hybrid SAT/BDD/ATPG Methods<br>


On-Chip and Core-Based Testing<br>Coverage-driven Test Generation<br>Design/Synthesis for Test<br>Hardware/Software Co-Validation<br>Prototyping and Emulation<br>Post-silicon Validation and Debug<br><br>The Program Committee invites authors to submit papers not to exceed 8 pages <br>


(10pt minimum font size with reasonable margins and line spacing) describing <br>original and unpublished work. Proposals for panels and special sessions<br>are also invited. All submissions must be made electronically in PDF format <br>

in 2010.<br><br>During paper submission the authors must commit to register and attend the <br>

workshop to present the paper if it is accepted. Every accepted paper must <br>have at least one of the authors pre-registered for the workshop during <br>submission of camera-ready version to ensure that the paper appears in <br>


the final program and conference proceedings. IEEE reserves the right to <br>exclude a paper from distribution after the workshop (e.g., removal from<br>IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the workshop.<br><br>
