IEEE International Workshop on Testing and Verification of Programmable Chips (TVPC 2022)


Description


Programmable logic is an important achievement in the development of modern computer application technology. Compared with ASIC technology, programmable logic resources can be flexibly customized and reduced, with the advantages of high performance and low power consumption, and low cost and low risk. In the recent years, it has been widely used in high-reliability fields, consumer electronics, Internet of Things, and other intelligent field.

With the increasing complexity and large-scale increase of functions, the test sufficiency and test efficiency of programmable logic are very important, which will directly affect the safety and reliability of products. The International Workshop on Testing and Verification of Programmable Chips (TVPC) aims to provide a forum to bring together researchers, practitioners and experts to present and discuss their relevant results or experience in programmable logic chip verification, and the special emphasis will be put on the intersection of four fields.
