Overview
Power is increasingly becoming a central issue in designing systems, from embedded systems to data centers. We do not understand energy and its tradeoff with performance and other metrics very well. This limits our ability to further extend the performance envelope without violating physical constraints related to batteries, power, heat generation, or cooling.

HotPower hopes to provide a forum in which to present the latest research and to debate directions, challenges, and novel ideas about building energy-efficient computing systems. In addition, researchers coming to these issues from fields such as computer architecture, systems and networking, measurement and modeling, language and compiler design, and embedded systems will gain the opportunity to interact with and learn from one another. Topics

Topics of interest related to energy-efficient computing include but are not limited to:


 * Instrumentation, measurement, and measurement studies
 * Energy and performance profiling, accounting
 * Metrics, benchmarks, interfaces
 * Principles of power management
 * Performance, energy and other resource trade-offs, energy complexity
 * Compiler optimization, application design
 * System-level optimization, cross-layer coordination
 * Load and resource modeling, management
 * Scheduling, run-time adaptation, feedback control
 * Processor, network, storage, hardware components and architecture
 * Reliability and power management
 * Application to multi-core, data center, and embedded systems

The workshop encourages submissions of early-stage research and novel ideas that have a high likelihood of generating interesting discussion.

Submission Instructions
Submitted papers must be no longer than 5 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references; two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading; and a text block 6.5" wide x 9" deep. Author names and affiliations should appear on the title page. The HotPower '09 web page will have more detailed instructions as well as sample templates.

Papers must be in PDF and must be submitted via a web submission form.

Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. Papers meeting any of these criteria will be rejected. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs.

Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication on the HotPower '09 web site; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. Registration Materials

Complete program and registration information will be available in August 2009 on the workshop web site.
