Call for Papers

Excessive energy dissipation has become one of the limiting

factors for the sustained growth of today’s embedded

computing technology. High power consumption and

power density reduce system reliability, increase energy

as well as cooling cost, and cut the battery lifetime

of mobile devices. Runtime energy/thermal management

dynamically consolidates workload of computers, adjusts the

power/performance mode of devices, and finds tradeoffs

between quality of services (QoS) and energy dissipation.

Those runtime management actions usually bring significant

performance and energy overhead and should be chosen

carefully with the consideration of the hardware and software

environments, the user activities and QoS requirements, the

battery efficiency, the communication protocols, and the

routing algorithms. The main goal of this special issue is to

provide a forum for the researchers to share the most recent

developments and ideas on energy/thermal management in

various areas of embedded computing, from application,

OS, and middleware development to communication and

network optimization.We also welcome contributions focusing

on energy/thermal management of embedded systems

powered by novel energy sources or utilizing innovative

energy storage techniques.

The topics to be covered include,but are not limited to:

? Energy-/temperature-aware algorithm design

? Runtime power/energy/thermal management

? Energy/thermal analysis or optimization in various

computing and communication layers

? Energy-aware operating system kernels and modules

? Energy/thermal modeling and simulation

? Energy-/temperature-aware distributed computing

? Ultralow energy design space-sub/near threshold computing

in embedded systems

? Design and optimization of embedded systems based

on renewable energy

? Battery-aware optimization of computing and communication

? Co-optimization of cooling power and computation/

communication power

? Network infrastructures for enhanced energy/thermal

management

? Energy-aware multicore architectures

? Context-aware energy/thermal management of

embedded computing

? Energy footprinting of embedded computing systems

? Energy/thermal workload/benchmark analysis and

characterization

? Experiences, case studies, and lessons learned for

energy-/temperature-aware embedded computing

applications
