Six papers by UCF Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering researchers were presented at the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD), held from Oct. 29 to Nov. 2, 2023, in San Francisco. This year, UCF had the most first-authored papers among all U.S. institutions, ahead of Georgia Tech, which had five first-authored papers. ICCAD is the premier venue to explore new challenges, present leading-edge innovative solutions, and identify emerging technologies in the electronic design automation and computer design research areas.
The papers by ECE researchers presented at ICCAD are as follows, with all the first authors affiliated with ECE (listed in alphabetical order by the first author’s first name):
