Call for Late Breaking Results (LBR)

New Track

For the first time, the Asian Test Symposium (ATS) 2026 is pleased to introduce the Late-Breaking Results (LBR) Track—a timely and high-visibility forum for showcasing emerging research, recent breakthroughs, and impactful project outcomes to the test, reliability, and dependable systems community.

The LBR Track offers researchers a unique opportunity to rapidly disseminate and receive valuable feedback on ongoing work, newly obtained results, innovative concepts, and fresh insights of strong relevance to the ATS community. We particularly welcome submissions that present promising directions, timely findings, and novel ideas with the potential to stimulate discussion and shape future research.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions must be prepared as extended abstracts using the standard IEEE two-column format and may be up to three pages in length, including references. All submissions must address new research relevant to the technical scope of ATS.

Examples of suitable LBR contributions include, but are not limited to:

  • Breakthrough approaches that address known problems from novel research perspectives; and
  • Promising new results supported by sufficient evidence to demonstrate the viability of the proposed work.

LBR submissions must present original and innovative work. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the ATS 2026 Technical Program Committee. Accepted LBR papers will be included in the ATS 2026 proceedings.

Submission Procedure

LBR submissions must be submitted through the ATS 2026 EasyChair submission system:

Call for Special Session and Innovative Practices Session Proposals

The Asian Test Symposium (ATS) 2026 invites proposals for Special Sessions and Innovative Practices Sessions that address timely, emerging, and high-impact topics of interest to the test, reliability, and dependable systems community.

These sessions are intended to complement the regular technical program by providing focused forums for presenting recent advances, exchanging perspectives, discussing emerging challenges, and promoting interaction among researchers and industry practitioners.

SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS

Special Sessions should focus on timely, emerging, or rapidly developing topics of broad interest to the ATS community. Proposed sessions may include invited technical presentations, panel discussions, embedded tutorials, or a combination of these formats.

Special Sessions are particularly encouraged when they:

  • address an important or emerging research direction;
  • bring together complementary perspectives from academia and industry;
  • provide a focused discussion of recent advances, challenges, and future opportunities; or
  • introduce topics that may stimulate new research activities and collaborations within the ATS community.

Each proposal must include:

  • a 150–200-word session abstract;
  • the names, professional titles, affiliations, and contact information of the session organizer(s);
  • the name of the proposed session moderator, if different from the organizer(s);
  • a list of at least three prospective speakers;
  • the affiliation, contact information, and tentative presentation title of each speaker;
  • a brief description of the proposed session structure and expected contributions; and
  • a tentative schedule indicating the time allocated to each presentation, discussion, and interactive activity.

If a Special Session proposal is accepted, the organizers and speakers will be invited to prepare one of the following for inclusion in the formal conference proceedings:

  1. One consolidated paper, authored by all or a subset of the presenters, of up to 10 pages, excluding references; or
  2. Three individual papers, each of up to 4 pages, excluding references.

All submitted papers must comply with the ATS 2026 formatting, review, registration, and publication requirements.

INNOVATIVE PRACTICES SESSION PROPOSALS

Innovative Practices Sessions highlight cutting-edge challenges encountered by industry practitioners and showcase innovative, practical, and impactful solutions developed to address them.

These sessions are intended to promote knowledge exchange between industry and academia by presenting real-world experiences, emerging industrial needs, successful practices, lessons learned, and new opportunities in test, reliability, and dependable systems.

Innovative Practices Session proposals are particularly encouraged when they:

  • present an important industrial challenge or emerging practical need;
  • describe an innovative methodology, technology, workflow, or solution;
  • provide lessons learned from real-world deployment or implementation;
  • identify gaps between academic research and industrial practice; or
  • stimulate discussion and future collaboration between researchers and practitioners.

Each proposal must include:

  • a 150–200-word session abstract;
  • the names, professional titles, affiliations, and contact information of the session organizer(s);
  • the name of the proposed session moderator, if different from the organizer(s);
  • a list of at least three prospective speakers;
  • the affiliation and tentative presentation title of each speaker;
  • a brief description of the industrial challenges, practical solutions, or experiences to be presented; and
  • a tentative schedule indicating the time allocated to each presentation, discussion, and interactive activity.

If an Innovative Practices Session proposal is accepted, the organizers and speakers will be invited to prepare a one-page session abstract describing the scope, key topics, and expected contributions of the session.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Each proposal must be no more than two A4 pages and should clearly include the following information:

  • the title, scope, and main topic or topics of the proposed session;
  • a 150–200-word abstract summarizing the session;
  • the objectives of the session and its relevance to ATS 2026;
  • an explanation of why the proposed session is expected to attract broad interest from the ATS community;
  • its alignment with timely, emerging, or high-impact topics in test, reliability, and dependable systems;
  • the planned session structure, such as technical presentations, a panel discussion, an embedded tutorial, industry case studies, or other interactive activities;
  • the proposed session duration and detailed schedule;
  • the names, affiliations, contact information, and tentative presentation titles of the prospective speakers;
  • a brief, two-sentence biography of each speaker and moderator;
  • a brief biography of each organizer describing relevant experience in organizing special sessions, panels, tutorials, workshops, or related activities at international conferences or professional events; and
  • the names, professional titles, affiliations, and contact information of the session organizer(s) and, if different, the session moderator.

The session moderator may also serve as one of the invited speakers.
