Abstract

Power has become a central societal concern, both in the design of modern computer systems and in the physical infrastructure supporting those systems&#046; On the one hand, energy consumption is a critical concern for computing systems at all scales, including mobile devices, embedded networks, and data centers&#046; On the other hand, computing itself can be used to improve the energy efficiency of cyber&#8211;physical systems, such as smart grids, smart buildings, and transportation&#046; However, we do not yet fully understand the tradeoffs between energy, performance, cost, and other metrics in these environments&#046; This limits our ability to improve energy efficiency without violating performance requirements and physical constraints (e&#046;g&#046;, battery, cooling capacity)&#046;<br>HotPower provides a forum in which to present the latest research and to debate directions, challenges, and novel ideas about building energy&#8211;efficient information technology and cyber&#8211;physical systems&#046; In addition, researchers coming to these issues from fields such as computer architecture, systems and networking, measurement and modeling, language and compiler design, mobile computing, and embedded and cyber&#8211;physical systems will have the opportunity to interact with one another, explore cross&#8211;cutting ideas, and develop new perspectives on the problem domain&#046;<br>••Topics<br>Topics of interest in energy&#8211;efficient computing include but are not limited to:<br>Instrumentation, measurement, and measurement studies<br>Metrics, benchmarks, interfaces<br>Performance, energy, and other resource trade&#8211;offs; energy complexity<br>Software optimization, application design<br>System&#8211;level optimization, cross&#8211;layer coordination<br>Scheduling, run&#8211;time adaptation, feedback control<br>Processor, network, storage, hardware components and architecture<br>Reliability and power management<br>Energy&#8211;aware control of cyber&#8211;physical systems, such as buildings and transportation systems<br>Application to multi&#8211;core, datacenter, and embedded systems<br>Green energy sources and their implications<br>Technologies for and management of energy storage<br>Life&#8211;cycle analysis<br>
