The European Test Symposium (ETS'17) offers a 3 day test spring school (TSS@ETS 2017, May 19 - 22) for Ph.D. and M.Sc. students who will be introduced into modern test, dependability and fault tolerance technology. Renowned experts will give lectures and will cover the main challenges of test and reliability of today's nanoelectronic systems. TSS@ETS offers the unique opportunity to learn about the leading edge of the state-of-the-art in modern test technologies in a comprehensive and compact way. The school will give the opportunity to earn credits and a certificate by passing an exam online. The school is open for registered students at an extremely low fee and welcomes also industrial professionals at a higher rate.

This year, emphasis is put on Machine Learning for Test, Dependability and Fault Tolerance.

The school will show how most recent achievements in machine learning can be used to deal with the challenges of nanoscale integration. Wafer level screening, circuit and gate level approaches, alternate testing for RF, analog and mixed signal circuits, and system level test and diagnosis are the application areas for methods from data mining and artificial reasoning. Finally it is shown how these techniques implemented within a system will provide self-awareness and resilience against bugs and attacks.

The school is organized in conjunction with ETS 2017, and the last two lectures are open for the general ETS attendees without additional fee. It is also associated with the German DFG priority program SPP1500: "Dependable Embedded Systems". TSS@ETS is offered to registered students at very low cost rate. The school is also open for professionals at higher rates, however priority is given to students on first-come, first-served basis, as the number of attendees is strictly limited.

The TSS takes place at the Classic Hotel in NICOSIA, CYPRUS. The registration site is now open. The early registration deadline is April 10th 2017. After this date, accommodation cannot be guaranteed.
