Background

The third annual Burn-in and Test Socket (BiTS) workshop was sponsored by the Test Technology Technical Council of the IEEE Computer Society. BiTS is the only IEEE sponsored workshop dedicated to providing a forum for the latest information about the socket industry.

Technical Program

23 presentations and two guest speaker presentations, covering a range of important socketing topics, were delivered by suppliers and users. The presentations were organized into 8 sessions: two sessions on Monday, 4 on Tuesday and 2 on Wednesday. At registration, attendees received the Proceedings, which contained all of the presentations..

BiTS 2002 Expo (Supplier Displays)

BiTS again this year hosted Supplier Displays. 32 suppliers displayed their products during breaks in the technical program.
