CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on optimization issues in energy efficient distributed systems
As part of
The International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS
2010)
In conjunction with
The 6th International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference
(IWCMC 2010)
June 28 – July 2, 2010

============================================================================
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Minimization of energy consumption has become a central issue in designing
distributed systems that range from wireless ad hoc networks to data centers.
Because battery technologies have not yet matched advances in hardware and
software technologies, saving energy in battery-operated devices is very
important for mobile/wireless networks. Similarly, minimizing energy
consumption in high performance computing centers will, in addition to saving
power consumption, require less cooling mechanisms.
These new challenges require innovative and effective optimization solutions
for minimizing power consumption in distributed systems, such as
energy-efficient scheduling algorithms and energy-efficient Medium Access
Control (MAC) protocols.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested
in addressing issues of concern and challenges related to optimizing computing
system power consumption, energy efficient systems, and distributed systems.
Both theoretical papers and papers describing practical experiences will be
welcome.
The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms
- Energy-efficient scheduling algorithms
- Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols
- Energy-efficient MAC protocols
- Energy-efficient routing protocols
- Voltage and frequency scaled networks
- Energy-efficient communication protocols
- Energy-efficient protocols/algorithms in PHY, IP layers or above
- Hardware solutions for achieving energy efficiency in large-scale networked
systems
- Virtualization techniques for energy efficiency
- Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted
elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names,
affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses.
Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords
from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 450 words. The
full manuscript should be at most 7 pages using the two-column IEEE format.
Additional pages will be charged at additional fee. Please include page
numbers on all submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful
comments. Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript via email to the Workshop
organizer at pascal.bou...@uni.lu and gregoire.da...@uni.lu .
Only PDF files will be accepted. Each paper will receive a minimum of three
reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance,
technical clarity and presentation. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee
that their papers will be registered and presented at the workshop. If you
have any questions about paper submission or the workshop, please contact the
organizer.
All accepted papers will be published as ISBN proceedings by the IEEE and will
be available online through the IEEE Digital Library (pending). Extended
versions of selected papers will be considered for possible publication in a
special issue of the International Journal of Communication Networks and
Distributed Systems (IJCNDS).
