Scope

As part of the project EHFARS (partners: CSC group at the MPI Magdeburg and P. Ezzatti from Universidad de la Republica in Montevideo) funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research BMBF in a federal effort supporting the internationalization of research and economy, the Scientific Computing Team of the Computational Methods in Systems and Control Theory group at the MPI in Magdeburg is holding the initiation workshop entitled "Power-Aware Computing PACO2015" at the MPI. The workshop aims at bringing together experts in the field in a 3 day event.

For the scientific program the workshop searches for contributions on any development that reports power or energy savings in a computational system. The interests include, but are not limited to:

• Exploitation of low-power hardware architectures
• Development of algorithms that facilitate energy savings
• Tools, libraries and environments for the development of power-aware software
• Measurement and control of the power consumption
• High-performance power-aware applications

Contributions

Talks: 25 minutes +5 minutes for discussion. We will provide laptop (Adobe Reader 11 and PowerPoint 2010) and data projector for the presentation.

Posters: If the number of registered participants is unexpectedly high we would like to have some results be presented as part of a poster session.

Abstracts: The abstract submission is open. Please check the submission page for more information about the submission procedure.
