The increased complexity of electronic systems and the fast adoption of these systems in all aspects of our daily lives, there is an increased emphasis on quality, reliability and security. The purpose of this new workshop is to bring industry practitioners and researchers from the fields of verification, validation, test, reliability and security to exchange innovative ideas and to develop new methodologies for solving the difficult challenges facing us today in various SOC design environments. This new workshop will be held in conjunction with two successful IEEE/CEDA sponsored conferences (On-line Test Symposium and Mixed Signal Test Workshop) an ideal environment for cross- examination of test, verification, reliability and security experiences and innovative solutions. Registered attendees of any of the three events will be allowed to attend the technical sessions of the other two events. The plenary session and social activities of the three events will be done jointly.
