Scope
Power-aware computing is becoming one of the top research priorities for a large variety of systems, including large-scale high performance computers and corporate data centers. We expect that more efforts will be invested in the power-aware computing, as a consequence of the continuous pushing towards higher performance and more compact system. Power-aware research requires both software and architecture innovation to improve power-efficiency while maintaining performance-oriented design. This workshop provides a forum to discuss the novel ideas about building power-aware software systems and architectures. It will present researchers the opportunity to develop new perspective on power-aware hot topics.

Topics
* Power-aware runtime systems
* Power and performance modeling and evaluation
* Tools for power profiling, accounting and measurement
* System-level cross-layer coordination
* Hardware/software co-design to improve power efficiency
* Emerging power efficient storage device such as Solid-State Devices
(SSD) and Storage Class Memories (SCM)
* Power-aware programming scheme
* Power-aware resource management strategies
* Novel architecting that assists in power management
* Thermal control and reduction

Proceedings
The workshop papers will be included in the proceedings of ICPP. They will be included in and indexed by the IEEE digital library.
