UT ECE Professor Jacob Abraham along with UT ECE students Joonsoo Kim and Joonsoo Lee have won the Best Paper Award in the Computer Systems Design and Applications Track at the 28th IEEE International Conference on Computer Design for their paper entitled Toward Reliable SRAM-based Device Identification.

The International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD) is the premiere conference covering the research, design, and implementation of computer systems and their components. ICCD encompasses a wide range of topics in the research, design, and implementation of computer systems and their components. ICCD's multi-disciplinary emphasis provides an ideal environment for developers and researchers to discuss practical and theoretical work covering system and computer architecture, verification and test, design and technology, and tools and methodologies.

The International Conference of Computer Design (ICCD) was founded along with the International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) in 1982 to address critical needs in the design of large-scale integrated systems. ICCAD was founded to focus on the algorithmic core of CAD, whereas ICCD was oriented to design and CAD applications.
