WUPS

Work shop on Ultra-Low Power Sensor Networks (WUPS)
February 23, 2010

Workshop-Website: http://www.ict.tuwien.ac.at/wups/

The work shop will be held in conjunction with ARCS (Architecture of Computing Systems) on 22-23 February, 2010 in Hannover, Germany.
Ultra-low power sensor networks are gaining importance due to a vast set of applications e.g. in automotive systems and in building automation. Sensor networks often need to operate autonomously without wired connection for a long period in time. To allow long maintenance cycles, they should be able to operate on a long-lived battery or other means of energy sources. To accomplish this, ultra-low power approaches are used to consume as few energy as possible.
The workshop is intended to give a good overview on current works in this area and problems and solutions in specific industry use cases.

Topics of Interest include, but are not restricted to:

  • Applications of ultra-low power sensor networks
  • Ultra-Low Power Design
  • Design Methods for Ultra-Low Power Embedded Systems
  • Power consumption estimation techniques
  • Energy Harvesting

Industry submissions showing current state of the art are mostly welcome.


The language of the work shop will be English, and papers are required to be in English. It is possible to submit extended abstracts (2-3 pages). Papers should not exceed 6 pages for long pages, and short papers are limited to 2 pages. Instructions for authors can be found at VDE For ARCS 2010 participants the workshop is included in the conference fee, for participation in the workshops alone, there will be a reduced fee.

Important Dates:
  • December 15, 2009: Paper submission deadline
  • January 12, 2010: Notification of the authors
  • January 18, 2010: Camera ready deadline

GI/ITG Workshop on Energy-aware Systems and Methods

GI/ITG Workshop on Energy-aware Systems and Methods
February 22/23, 2010

Workshop-Website: http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/fg-energie/2010/

The work shop will be held in conjunction with ARCS (Architecture of Computing Systems) on 22-23 February, 2010 in Hannover, Germany.
Energy is considered a critical or even the most critical resource in many computing systems. Applications comprise a wide range of system capabilities including cloud computing, mobile laptops or PDAs, as well as cell phones and sensor networks. Thus, energy awareness and energy-aware operation are fundamental demands for any system. In recent years, a new research domain was established as an interdisciplinary field among different areas of computer science (e.g., operating systems and computer networks) and electrical engineering (e.g., wireless communication and chip design). Based on findings in the field of energy-aware systems and methods, novel application scenarios can be envisioned encompassing even stronger requirements on reliability, resilience, lifetime, adaptability, and self-organization.
This workshop aims to provide a forum to discuss recent results in the field of energy-awareness that is a cross-cutting concern in many areas in systems research. Based on intensive discussions of energy-critical issues in the different layers and the different approaches to energy-aware system design, the participants will be able to study energy-related problems from multiple perspectives and to look into the complex interactions among those layers. We especially encourage PhD students to participate, to share their ideas and findings, and to network with other fellows working in the same field.
Whereas the workshop mainly focuses on energy-aware systems and methods, contributions are favored that span all the related fields of study.
This includes the following aspects:

  • Operating system support
  • Communication methods
  • Protocol engineering
  • Simulation techniques
  • Cross-layer design of energy-aware systems
  • Application and hardware support for energy-aware operation

Organization

The workshop is organized as a follow-up to the successful "GI/ITG Fachgespräch" on energy-aware systems and methods. Key organizers are Prof. Dr. Frank Bellosa (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), Prof. Dr. Dirk Timmermann (Universität Rostock) and PD Dr. Falko Dressler (Universität Erlangen).

Important Dates:
  • December 15, 2009: Paper submission deadline
  • January 15, 2009: Notification of the authors
  • January 20, 2009: Final version of accepted papers for workshop proceedings
