DATE Save the Date 17 to 19 April 2023


Dear DATE community,

We, the DATE Sponsors Committee (DSC) and the DATE Executive Committee (DEC), are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragedy currently unfolding in Ukraine, and we would like to express our full solidarity with all the people and families affected by the war.

Our thoughts also go out to everyone in Ukraine and Russia, whether they are directly or indirectly affected by the events, and we extend our deep sympathy.

We condemn Russia’s military action in Ukraine, which violates international law. And we call on the different governments to take immediate action to protect everyone in that country, particularly including its civilian population and people affiliated with its universities.

Now more than ever, our DATE community must promote our societal values (justice, freedom, respect, community, and responsibility) and confront this situation collectively and peacefully to end this nonsense war.

DATE Sponsors and Executive Committees.

        Aim and Scope 

        With increasing system complexity, security, stringent runtime requirements for functional safety, and cost constraints of a mass market, the reliable and secure operation of electronics in safety-critical, enterprise servers and cloud computing domains is still a major challenge. While traditionally design time and test time solutions were supposed to guarantee the in-field dependability and security of electronic systems, due to complex interaction of runtime effects from running workload and environment, there is a great need for a holistic approach for silicon lifecycle management, spanning from design time to in-field monitoring and adaptation. Therefore the solutions for lifecycle management should include various sensors and monitors embedded in different levels of the design stack, access mechanisms and standards for such on-chip and in-system sensor network, as well as data analytics on the edge and in the cloud. This European edition of the eSLM Workshop tries to build a community around this topic and offer a forum to present and discuss these challenges and emerging solutions among researchers and practitioners alike.

        Topic Areas

        The workshop’s areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following topics:

        • Design and placement of various sensors and monitors for functional safety and security
        • Standards for sensor data aggregation
        • Data analytics for sensor data processing
        • Anomaly detection for security and   functional safety
        • Machine learning for in-field system health monitoring
        • Multi-layer dependability evaluation
        • In-field verification and validation 
        • Fault tolerance and self-checking circuits
        • Aging effects on electronics
        • Reuse and extension of test, debug and repair infrastructure for in-filed management
        • Power-up, power-down and periodic tests
        • System level test
        • Preventive Maintenance 
        • Concurrent and periodic checking
        • Functional and structural test generation
        • Graceful degradation
        • Useful remaining lifetime prediction
        • Failure prediction and forecasting
        • Attack prediction and prevention
        • In-field configuration and adaptation
        • Cross-layer solutions

        Panel: „Challenges of the SLM ecosystem“

        Organizer: Hans-Joachim Wunderlich

         

        Silicon lifecycle management covers a broad variety of aspects and goals which may complement each other but which can also be in conflict. Examples are runtime test and diagnosis versus security, data collection in the cloud versus privacy, BIST versus monitoring or on-chip infrastructure and reliability. Renowned experts mainly from industry will discuss various challenges of the different aspects of SLM:
