PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: April 7, 2011

With an increasing cost and environmental impact, energy consumption in large scale and distributed systems has become the new global IT concern in governments, organizations, and companies. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in addressing challenging issues related to the use of evolutionary computation for power consumption optimization in large-scale and distributed computing systems. The workshop covers all energy-efficient related topics of evolutionary computation, including but not limited to:
• energy-efficient optimization and its applications
• energy-efficient scheduling algorithms
• optimization of energy-efficient protocols
• network design optimization- modeling
• representations, simulation and validation for energy consumption optimization problems
• large scale and high-dimensional energy-efficient optimization
• energy-aware smart grids- thermal optimization in cloud computing/data centers
• online dynamic optimization for energy efficient systems
• energy optimization in uncertain environments
• learning and anticipation
• robustness and performance guarantees
• real-world energy efficient optimization problems
• management and profiling tools for energy efficient systems
We invite submissions up to 8 pages in ACM format. The talks should present recent research ideas, identify new challenging problems or show obtained results. Both theoretical papers and papers describing practical experiences will be welcome. Accepted papers will be published in a separate workshop proceedings associated to the GECCO conference which also appears in the ACM Digital Library.
 
Important Dates

• April 7, 2011 - submission deadline
• April 14, 2011 - decision notification
• April 26, 2011 - camera-ready files submission deadline
• May 2, 2011 - registration deadline for presenting authors
 
Submission

Submissions should not exceed 8 pages in ACM style. Refer to http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2011 for format details. All accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop and included in the workshop proceedings. However, unlike GECCO, we do not require having papers submitted in anonymous format. Papers may be submitted by April 7, 2011 in PostScript or PDF format to: pascal.bouvry at uni.lu, samee.khan at ndsu.edu and greenit at uni.lu.
