<h1>Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development (EASED@GI 2013)</h1>
<p align="justify">
</p>
<p>One of the current trends in information technologies are mobile
and embedded devices. Devices get smaller, more powerful, more flexible
to use/program, and ubiquitous. However, one of the major drawbacks of
using such devices are their limited resources, especially their power
supply. Hence, their uptime strongly depends on the effectiveness of
energy saving technologies. And regarding the goals of Green IT also
non-battery powered devices profit from energy-efficient software.
</p>
<p>Computer devices are composed of memory, CPU, bus systems, communication
interfaces and other hardware components. Users use software that utilizes
the available hardware to solve certain tasks. However, different components
have different energy consumptions. Standard PCs like laptops optimize energy
consumptions by adapting the behavior of their hardware. Besides this, one
must consider hardware access via software to optimize energy consumptions.
Unfortunately, we do not have mature measurement approaches that are platform
independent and reliable nor do we fully understand the tradeoffs between energy,
performance, cost, and other metrics. This limits our ability to improve
energy-efficiency without violating performance requirements and physical
constraints.
</p>
<p>EASED2013 provides a forum in which to present the latest research and
to debate directions, challenges, and novel ideas about building energy-efficient
software systems. In addition, researchers will have the opportunity to
interact with one another, explore cross-cutting ideas, and develop new
perspectives on the problem domain. Topics include but are not limited to:
</p><ul><li>Software based energy measurement</li><li>Energy metrics of software</li><li>Modeling Energy-Aware systems</li><li>Energy classification strategies</li><li>Strategies for optimizing energy consumptions</li>
<li>Protocols for energy aware data communication</li><li>Energy aware software engineering approaches</li></ul><p>To further stimulate these discussions, authors are invited to submit papers on the
workshop´s topics. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and will be published in <a href="http://www.gi.de/service/publikationen/lni/" target="_blank">GI-Edition
"Lecture Notes in Informatics" (LNI)</a>.
