<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The fifteenth annual workshop HLDVT
2010 aims to bring together a community of researchers in the areas of design,
validation, and test. The workshop addresses the integration of multiple
functions on-chip at higher levels of design abstraction, and the techniques
and methodologies for modeling, analyzing, and validating such systems. In
particular, the workshop has become a unique forum for researchers and
practitioners to discuss the practical issues associated with validation of
extremely large designs. </span></p>
