Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and Applications Editor-in-Chief (+deputy) Vishwani Agrawal AT&T Bell Laboratories, USA AIMS AND SCOPE The Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and Applications is an international forum for the dissemination of research and application information in the area of electronic testing. This is the only journal devoted specifically to electronic testing. The papers for publication in Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and Applications will be selected through a peer review to ensure originality, timeliness, and relevance. The journal will provide archival material, and through its quick publication cycle, will strive to bring recent results to researchers and practitioners. While it will emphasize publication of preciously unpublished material, conference papers of exceptional merit that require wider exposure will, at the discretion of the editors, also be published provided they meet the journal's peer review standard. Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and Applications will also seek clearly written survey and review articles to promote improved understanding of the state of the art. Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and Applications coverage will include, but not be limited to the following topics: - Testing of VLSI devices printed circuit boards, and electronic systems - Testing of analog and digital electronic circuits - Testing of microprocessors, memories, and signal processing devices - Fault modeling - Test generation - Fault simulation - Testability analysis - Design for testability - Synthesis for testability - Built-in self-test - Test specification - Fault tolerance - Formal verification of hardware - Simulation for verification - Design debugging - AI methods and expert systems for test and diagnosis - Automatic test equipment (ATE) - Test fixtures - Electron Beam Test Systems - Test programming - Test data analysis - Economics of testing - Quality and reliability - CAD Tools - Testing of wafer-scale integration devices - Testing of reliable systems - Manufacturing yield and design for yield improvement - Failure mode analysis and process improvement Abstracted/Indexed in: INSPEC Information Services; Engineering Index; Information Science Abstracts; ACM Guide to Computing Literature; ACM Computing Reviews; COMPENDEX Plus database. INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS Authors are encouraged to submit high quality, original work that has not appeared, nor is under consideration by, other journals. Papers which have previously appeared in conference proceedings will also be considered, and this should be so indicated at the time of submission. PROCESS FOR SUBMISSION 1. Authors should submit six hard copies of their final manuscript to: Mrs. Karen S. Cullen JETTA - Editorial Office Kluwer Academic Publishers Tel.: 617-871-6300 101 Philip Drive FAX: 617-871-6528 Assinippi Park Norwell, MA 02061, U.S.A. For prompt attention, all correspondence can be directed to this address. 2. Enclose with each manuscript, on a separate page, from three to five key words. Some typical key word examples are: ATE, test programming, logic simulation, fault modeling. 3. Enclose originals for the illustrations, in the style described below, for one copy of the manuscript. Photocopies of the figures may accompany the remaining copies of the manuscript. Alternatively, original illustrations may be submitted after the paper has been accepted. 4. Enclose a separate page giving the preferred address of the contact author for correspondence and return of proofs. Please be sure to include a telephone number and a fax number. 5. The refereeing is done by anonymous reviewers. STYLE FOR MANUSCRIPT 1. Typeset, double or 1 1/2 space; use one side of sheet only (laser printed, typewritten and good quality duplication acceptable). 2. Use an informative title and provide an informative 100 to 250 word abstract at the head of the manuscript. The abstracts are printed with the articles. It should be a carefully worded description of the problem, the key ideas introduced, and the results. 3. Provide a separate double-spaced sheet listing all footnotes, beginning with "Affiliation of author" and continuing with numbered footnotes. Acknowledgement of financial support may be given if appropriate. 4. References should appear in a separate bibliography at the end of the paper. References should be numbered and listed in order of citation in the text, with citations by numbers in brackets. References should be complete, in the following style: Style for papers: Author(s) initials followed by last name for each author, paper title, publication name, volume, inclusive page numbers, month and year. Style for books: Author(s), title, publisher,location, year, chapter or page numbers (if desired). 5. Type or mark mathematical copy exactly as they should appear in print. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows: variables, italic type (indicated by underline); constants, roman text type; matrices and vectors, boldface type (indicated by wavy underline). In word-processor manuscripts, use appropriate typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayed equations are to be set in italic type unless you mark them otherwise. All letter symbols in text discussion must be marked if they should be italic or boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they will not fit on one line. STYLE FOR ILLUSTRATIONS 1. Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise-free, and of good contrast. We regret that we cannot provide drafting or art service. 2. Line drawings should be in laser printer output or in India ink on paper, or board. Use 8 1/2 by 11-inch size sheets if possible, to simplify handling of the manuscript. 3. Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location of each figure in the text, but place the figure itself of a separate page following the text. 4. Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. Please label any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term "figure" for material that has been drawn. Specify the desired location of each table in the text, but place the table itself on a separate page following the text. Type a brief title above each table. 5. All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction. 6. Photographs should be glossy prints, of good contrast and gradation, and any reasonable size. 7. Number each original on the back. 8. Provide a separate sheet listing all figure captions, in proper style for the typesetter, e.g., "Fig. 3. Examples of the fault coverage of random vectors in (a) combinational and (b) sequential circuits." PROOFING Page proofs for articles to be included in a journal issue will be sent to the contact author for proofing, unless otherwise informed. The proofread copy should be received back by the Publisher within 72 hours. COPYRIGHT It is the policy of Kluwer Academic Publishers to own the copyright of all contributions it publishes.
