Workshop on Energy Efficient Mobile Computing - Las Vegas
by Chris Gniady 30 Sep '15

30 Sep '15

Workshop on Energy Efficient Mobile Computing December 14-16, 2015, Las Vegas, NV, USA in conjunction with INTERNATIONAL GREEN and SUSTAINABLE COMPUTING CONFERENCE - IGSC 2015 DEADLINE EXTENSION 10.07.2015 Introduction: Mobile phones are becoming the next computing platform that is already dominating as our main source for communication and basic computing needs. In addition, the mobile phones are becoming more and more popular for healthcare monitoring. Subsequently, we expect better functionality, performance as well as a longer battery life from our mobile and hand-held devices. Better functionality and performance usually come at the expense of battery life. The battery life is critical to providing all of the functionality the user is expecting. To investigate the impact of such issues, the Workshop on Energy Efficient Mobile Computing is being organized to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore the challenges, opportunities, and approaches of energy-aware hardware, operating system, and software design for mobile devices. This workshop focuses on all aspects of application, OS, and hardware design that provide novel functionality without compromising energy efficiency. Topics CPU/GPU hardware and software optimization. WiFi and Cellular transmissions optimization. Storage optimization. Display optimization. Mobile security. Applications that increase productivity and enable mobility Hybrid local and remote storage solutions. Mobile healthcare solutions. Novel communication technologies for mobile devices. Wearable computing device Cloud offloading Participants will be required to register for the main IGSC'15 conference at the IEEE member or non-member rate (not the student rate), which includes access to the workshops. Call For Papers The workshop invites authors to submit papers describing original, unpublished, work in all areas of energy efficient mobile computing as well as energy critical applications such as healthcare monitoring, which is not concurrently under review elsewhere. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. The papers should not exceed six single-spaced pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, 11-point fonts, IEEE 8.5 x 11 inch) including everything, e.g., abstract, research description, figures, tables, and references. Each paper will be refereed by independent reviewers. Submission is a definite commitment for at least one of the authors to register to attend IGCC (workshops are included) and present the paper if it is accepted. The workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society along with the IGCC conference proceedings. Where to Submit? Files should be submitted by following the instructions available at the https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eemc2015. Program Chairs: Ali R.

Call-for-Nominations: SPEC Distinguished Dissertation Award 2015 The SPEC Distinguished Dissertation Award aims to recognize outstanding doctoral dissertations in the field of computer benchmarking, performance evaluation, and experimental system analysis in general. Nominated dissertations will be evaluated in terms of scientific originality, scientific significance, practical relevance, impact, and quality of the presentation. The SPEC Research Group promotes research in quantitative system evaluation and analysis both with classical performance metrics - such as response time, throughput, scalability and efficiency, as well as other extra-functional system properties included under the term dependability - such as availability, reliability, and security. Contributions of interest span the design of metrics for system evaluation as well as the development of methodologies, techniques and tools for measurement, load testing, profiling, workload characterization, dependability and efficiency evaluation of computing systems. More details on the award can be found at http://research.spec.org/awards.html The winner will receive $1000, which will be awarded at the ICPE 2016 International Conference on Performance Engineering. Past winners can be found at http://research.spec.org/awards/past-winners.html A nomination should include: • A nomination letter with the name of the student, the title of the dissertation, the institution where the dissertation was defended, and the date of the defense. • A one-page report that outlines the outstanding contribution of the dissertation. • The dissertation itself, including a one-page extended abstract of the dissertation. If the dissertation is written in language other than English, it may be accompanied by publications, in English, describing the same research as the dissertation. SPEC Distinguished Dissertation Award is open to dissertations that have been defended between October 1, 2014, and September 30, 2015. If there are several outstanding submissions, the committee may split the award between them. The submission deadline is September 30, 2015.

Submissions are required to mark at least one topic area. Papers will be reviewed by at least three PC members including at least two having specific domain expertise concerning the indicated main research topics and judged on originality, significance, interest, correctness, clarity, and relevance to the broader community. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the conference. Papers can be submitted in one of the following three categories with different acceptance criteria for each category: * Full research papers limited to 10 pages (double column, IEEE format) * Experience papers limited to 8 pages (double column, IEEE format) * Short papers limited to 6 pages (double column, IEEE format) Full and experience research papers are strongly encouraged to report on experiences, measurements, user studies, and provide an appropriate quantitative evaluation if at all possible. Short papers can either be work in progress, or position and challenge papers that motivate the community to address new challenges. See the conference website for format instructions. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through the ICAC’2016 submission site. There will be a BEST PAPER AWARD for the full research paper category and it is panned that a selection of the best papers of the full research paper category will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution for a ICAC 2016 SPECIAL ISSUE after the conference. ___________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZATION General Chair Samuel Kounev, University of Wuerzburg, Germany Program Committee Co-Chairs Holger Giese, Hasso Plattner Institute, Germany Jie Liu, Microsoft Research, Redmond, USA Workshop Chair Lydia Chen, IBM Zurich, Switzerland Publicity Co-Chairs Giacomo Cabri, Universita di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Italy Javier Camara, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA Nikolas Herbst, University of Wuerzburg, Germany Jianguo Yao, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Finance Chair Philippe Lalanda, University of Grenoble, France Proceedings Chair Daniel Gmach, HP Labs, USA Poster and Demo Chair Stephanie Chollet, Grenoble INP Esisar/LCIS, France Local Arrangements and Web Chair Lukas Ifflaender, University of Wuerzburg, Germany Doctoral Symposium Chair Christian Becker, University of Mannheim, Germany Evgenia Smirni, College of William and Mary, USA ___________________________________________________________________ PROGRAM COMMITTEE http://icac2016.uni-wuerzburg.de/committees/program-committee/
