Best Paper Award

08-11-2018

Our paper “A HW/SW Cross-Layer Approach for DeterminingApplication-Redundant Hardware Faults in Embedded Systems” published in Journal of Electronic Testing – Theory and Applications (Jetta) in January 2017 received the Best Paper Award. The award is granted by the IEEE Test Technology Technical Council  and was presented to us at International Test Conference (ITC) in Phoenix Arizona (Nov. 1, 2018).
