Abstract :
The European Test Symposium (ETS) Best Paper Award, which was introduced in 2004 when the European Test Workshop (ETW) turned into the ETS, aims to maintain and encourage the quality of papers and presentations in the ETS technical program. Eligible for the ETS Best Paper Award are papers published in the Formal Proceedings of ETS and presented in a full-length oral presentation slot in the regular technical program. It is my pleasure to announce that the Best Paper Award of ETS\´12 goes to the paper entitled: "an enhanced reduced code linearity test technique for multibit/ stage pipelined ADCs" by Asma Laraba (TIMA Laboratory), Haralampos Stratigopoulos (TIMA Laboratory), Salvador Mir (TIMA Laboratory), Herve Naudet (STM) and Christophe Forel (STM) The award is formally handed over during the plenary opening session of ETS\´13.
