                   WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT

     TECHNICAL WORKSHOP: NEW DIRECTIONS FOR IC TESTING

             VICTORIA, CANADA, 18-19 MARCH 1986

                    Tentative Programme


The University of Victoria, (Dept. of Computer Science), the
University of Manitoba, (Dept. of Computer Science), and the
University of Bath (Dept. of  Electrical  Engineering),  are
sponsoring a workshop on testing on March 18-19. The purpose
of the workshop is to present state-of-the-art  developments
in  the  area  of  testing  and  design for testability. The
environment will encourage open discussion among the  parti-
cipants  and emphasize the exchange of information.  Faculty
members and graduate students who are interested in the area
are  cordially  invited to attend.  A tentative programme is
given  below.   For  more  information,registration,   hotel
reservations, etc.  contact:
