Abstract :
This session is a semi-final round of the TTTC 2010 E. J. McCluskey Best Doctoral Thesis Award contest. This contest is organized by the TTTC Student Activities Committee and aims to promote and strengthen the interaction between graduate students and the industrial community, as well as to serve as an opportunity for graduate students to disseminate their research and win recognition for their achievements. The students are offered the chance to present their work in a conference environment to industrial test experts, who will evaluate and comment in terms of novelty, relevance to the state-of-the-art, and advancement of industrial practice.
