Annotation This proceedings contains extended version of a selected subset of the contributions presented at the May 1999 IEEE workshop. The 27 papers share research and development (RandD) results in electronic testing. Topics include calculating efficient LFSR seeds for built-in self test, functional and structural testing of switched-current circuits, compaction of IDDQ test sequence using reassignment method, debug facilities in the TriMedia CPU64 architecture, deterministic BIST with partial scan, and using the BS register for capturing and storing n-bit sequences in real-time. Other papers address MEMs, switched capacitors, ATPG and fault modeling, fault simulation and fault coverage of analog circuits, FPGAs and regular arrays, and low power BIST. No subject index.

This volume contains lectures presented at the 21st International Summer School on Engineering Theories of Software Construction (Marktoberdorf, Germany July/August 2000). Eleven contributions from professionals in industry and academia trace the path from the scientific foundations of programming theory through the development of toolsets and methods and on to practical application by working engineers. A sampling of topics includes unifying theories for logic programming, performance modeling using probabilistic process algebra, and extended static checking. The volume is not indexed.

The Mexican -- United States border represents much more than the meeting place of two nations. Our border communities are often a line of first defense -- absorbing the complex economic, environmental and social impacts of globalization that ripple through the region. In many ways, our success or failure in finding solutions for the environmental, social and economic issues that plague the region may well define our ability to meet similar challenges thousands of miles from the border zone. Border residents face the environmental security concerns posed by water scarcity and transboundary air pollution; the planning and infrastructure needs of an exploding population; the debilitating effects of inadequate sanitary and health facilities; and the crippling cycle of widespread poverty. Yet, with its manifold problems, the border area remains an area of great dynamism and hope -- a multicultural laboratory of experimentation and grass-roots problem-solving. Indeed, as North America moves towards a more integrated economy, citizen action at the local level is pushing governments to adapt to the driving forces in the border area by creating new institutional arrangements and improving old ones. If there is one defining feature of this ground-up push for more responsive transboundary policies and institutions, it is a departure from the closed, formalistic models of the past to a more open, transparent and participatory model of international interaction.

In the not too distant future, every researcher and professional in science and engineering fields will have to understand parallel and distributed computing. With hyperthreading in Intel processors, hypertransport links in AMD processors, multi-core silicon in today's high-end microprocessors from IBM and emerging cluster and grid computing, parallel and distributed computers have moved into the mainstream of computing. To fully exploit these advances in computer architectures, researchers and professionals must start to design parallel or distributed software, systems and algorithms for their scientific and engineering applications. Parallel and distributed scientific and engineering computing has become a key technology which will play an important part in determining, or at least shaping, future research and development activities in many academic and industrial branches. This book reports on the recent important advances in the area of parallel and distributed computing for science and engineering applications. Included in the book are selected papers from prestigious workshops such as PACT-SHPSEC, IPDPS-PDSECA and ICPP-HPSECA together with some invited papers from prominent researchers around the world. The book is basically divided into five main sections. These chapters not only provide novel ideas, new experimental results and handful experience in this field, but also stimulate the future research activities in the area of parallel and distributed computing for science and engineering applications.
