CALL FOR PAPERS
-------------------

International Workshop on Optimization Issues in Energy Efficient Distributed
Systems(OPTIM 2013 -- http://tinyurl.com/bnrzxue)

As part of The International Conference on High Performance Computing &
Simulation [HPCS 2013](http://hpcs2013.cisedu.info/)

July 1 – July 5, 2013
Helsinki, Finland

*Extended Submission Deadline*: March 22, 2013


SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
----------------------

Minimization of energy consumption has become a central issue in designing
distributed systems that range from wireless ad hoc networks to data centers.

Because battery technologies have not yet matched advances in hardware and
software technologies, saving energy in battery-operated devices is very
important for mobile/wireless networks. Similarly, minimizing energy consumption
in high performance computing centers will, in addition to saving power
consumption, require less cooling mechanisms.
These new challenges require innovative and effective optimization solutions for
minimizing power consumption in distributed systems, such as energy-efficient
scheduling algorithms and energy-efficient Medium Access Control (MAC)
protocols.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested in
addressing issues of concern and challenges related to optimizing computing
system power consumption, energy efficient systems, and distributed systems.

Both theoretical papers and papers describing practical experiences will be
welcome.

The Workshop topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

 * Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms
 * Energy-efficient scheduling algorithms
 * Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols
 * Energy-efficient MAC protocols
 * Energy-efficient routing protocols
 * Voltage and frequency scaled networks
 * Energy-efficient communication protocols
 * Energy-efficient protocols/algorithms in PHY, IP layers or above
 * Hardware solutions for achieving energy efficiency in large-scale networked
   systems
 * Virtualization techniques for energy efficiency
 * Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions


INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS:
---------------------------

You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and
other topics related to optimization issues in energy efficient distributed
systems. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously
submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names,
affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please,
indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the
above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words. The full
manuscript should be at most 8 pages using the two-column IEEE format.
Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Please include page numbers on
all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful
comments.

Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript using the
[EasyChair interface](https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=optim2013).

Only PDF files will be accepted. Each paper will receive a minimum of three
reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance,
technical clarity and presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at
least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. Authors
of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be registered and
presented at the workshop.

Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. Instructions
for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the HPCS 2013
Conference web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published
in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of the conference. The
proceedings is to be published as ISBN proceedings by the IEEE and will be
available online through IEEE Digital Library and indexed by major indexing
services accordingly (e.g., EI indexing).
If you have any questions about paper submission or the workshop, please contact
the workshop organizers, or use the conference [EasyChair email
address](mailto:optim2013 at easychair.org).
