Overview
The 13th annual workshop on Microprocessor Test and Verification will be held on December 10th through 13th, 2012 in Austin, TX.

General Chair: Magdy S. Abadir, Freescale Semiconductor
Program Co-Chair: Jay Bhadra, Freescale Semiconductor
Program Co-Chair: Li-C. Wang, University of California at Santa Barbara

Scope
The purpose of MTV is to bring researchers and practitioners from the fields of verification and test together to exchange innovative ideas and to develop new methodologies to solve the difficult challenges facing us today in various processor and SOC design environments. In the past few years, some work has been done on exploiting techniques from test to solve problems in verification and vice versa. This is the 13th edition of the MTV Workshop, a testament to its success in providing an ideal environment for cross-examination of test and verification experiences and innovative solutions.
