We have a great pleasure to invite you to EAST-WEST DESIGN & TEST SYMPOSIUM - EWDTS'10

The main target of the IEEE East-West Design & Test Symposium (EWDTS) is to exchange experiences in the field of design, design automation and test of electronic circuits and systems, between the technologists and scientists from Eastern and Western Europe, as well as North America and other parts of the world, The symposium aims at attracting attendees especially from the Newly Independent States (NIS) and countries around the Black Sea and Central Asia.

This year IEEE EWDTS’10 will take place in St. Petersburg, Russia.

St. Petersburg is only 300 years old, but among the largest cities of Europe it is one of the oldest. Buildings were built of stone here, and constructions erected before 1917 have been almost entirely preserved. In total, there are about 18,000 buildings of this kind. From Obvodny Canal to the Neva and from the Alexandra-Nevskaya Lavra to the port, the city remains almost unchanged since 1917. No other city in Europe or American can boast this quantity of preserved old buildings. In addition, nowhere else in the world can you find constructions of such varied architectural styles – classicism, eclecticism and Moderne – in such close proximity. Water surfaces cover about 10 percent of the total area of St. Petersburg.

Saint-Petersburg is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Beginning from the 18 century the best achievements were put in practice in Saint-Petersburg. It is here there splendid palaces, cathedrals and monuments are built, museums with the richest collections such as the Hermitage and the Russian museum, the famous Mariinsky Theater are constructed.
