The theme for the 2019 conference is Novel Computing Architectures. Papers will include discussions on the advent of Artificial Intelligence and the promise of quantum computing that are driving disruptive computing architectures; Neuromorphic chip designs on one hand, and Quantum Bits on the other, still in R&D, will introduce new computing circuitry and memory elements, novel materials, and different test methodologies. These novel computing architectures will require further innovation which is best achieved through a collaborative Failure Analysis community composed of chip manufacturers, tool vendors, and universities.

This book provides readers with a comprehensive introduction to physical inspection-based approaches for electronics security. The authors explain the principles of physical inspection techniques including invasive, non-invasive and semi-invasive approaches and how they can be used for hardware assurance, from IC to PCB level. Coverage includes a wide variety of topics, from failure analysis and imaging, to testing, machine learning and automation, reverse engineering and attacks, and countermeasures.

Materials for Electronics Security and Assurance reviews the properties of materials that could enable devices that are resistant to tampering and manipulation. The book discusses recent advances in materials synthesis and characterization techniques for security applications. Topics addressed include anti-reverse engineering, detection, prevention, track and trace, fingerprinting, obfuscation, and how materials could enable these security solutions. The book introduces opportunities and challenges and provides a clear direction of the requirements for material-based solutions to address electronics security challenges. It is suitable for materials scientists and engineers who seek to enable future research directions, current computer and hardware security engineers who want to enable materials selection, and as a way to inspire cross-collaboration between both communities. - Discusses materials as enablers to provide electronics assurance, counterfeit detection/protection, and fingerprinting - Provides an overview of benefits and challenges of materials-based security solutions to inspire future materials research directions - Includes an introduction to material perspectives on hardware security to enable cross collaboration between materials, design, and testing

The International Symposium for Testing and Failure Analysis (ISTFA) 2018 is co-located with the International Test Conference (ITC) 2018, October 28 to November 1, in Phoenix, Arizona, USA at the Phoenix Convention Center. The theme for the November 2018 conference is "Failures Worth Analyzing." While technology advances fast and the market demands the latest and the greatest, successful companies strive to stay competitive and remain profitable.

The theme for the November 2017 conference was Striving for 100% Success Rate. Papers focus on the tools and techniques needed for maximizing the success rate in every aspect of the electronic device failure analysis process.
