Special issue of Sustainable Computing: Informatics and Systems
(SUSCOM) on Disruptive Technologies for Energy? Efficient Computing*******
***Scope:
The energy consumption of computing systems and infrastructures is a
major obstacle towards realizing new computing paradigms. Despite
significant advancements in the power?efficiency of processors and an
increasing awareness of energy among the computing systems research
community, it is becoming clear that the energy obstacle can only be
overcome with disruptive and unconventional technologies that span the
entire hardware and software stack. Foundational work that pushes the
limits of energy consumption to the absolute minimum, while sustaining
functionality, performance and the familiar user interfaces is essential
in this direction. From devices, to new computing algorithms and
paradigms, to software, to applications, research should envision a
zero?power computing ecosystem replacing the current power?aware
computing ecosystem. This vision will raise unprecedented challenges in
all functional and non?functional aspects of computing, including
performance, resilience, accuracy, programmability and usability.
In this special issue, we seek original work that addresses how
disruptive technologies can improve the energy?efficiency of the current
computing ecosystem. These technologies may include but are not limited
to processor, memory, storage and networking technologies; cooling
technologies; and energy harvesting, storage and recycling technologies.
Papers should clearly articulate the disruptive aspects of the
technology presented and demonstrate pathways to integrate the
technology in the hardware & software stack via experimental prototypes
or simulation. We solicit papers that span all major computing markets
where energy?-efficiency is of essence, including sensors, mobile
computing, HPC systems and datacentres.
Specific topics include, but not limited to, the following topics in
Energy Efficiency:
* Hardware architecture
*Ultra low?voltage processors
*Accelerators
*Reconfigurable processors
*Heterogeneous multi-core processors
*System?on?chip
*Non?volatile memory technologies
*Phase Change Memory
*Novel router architectures
*Novel mobile architectures and devices
* System software
*Software integration of disruptive technologies
*Operating systems
*Virtualization
*Energy abstractions in languages and programming models
*Novel routing protocols
*Novel mobile systems
* Data center Architecture
*System support for energy?harvesting technologies
*Cooling technologies
*Alternative energy
*Alternative infrastructure designs
Submission Details:
General information for submitting papers to SUSCOM can be found at
http://ees.elsevier.com/
link). Submissions to this Special Issue (SI) should be made using
Elsevier's editorial system at the journal website
(http://ees.elsevier.com/
make sure to select the "SI: Disruptive Tech" option for the type of the
paper during the submission process. All submissions must be original
and may not be under review by another publication. A submission based
on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere has to comprise major
value?-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 30% new
material). Authors are requested to attach to the submitted paper their
relevant, previously published articles and a summary document
explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. All submitted
papers will be peer reviewed using the normal standards of SUSCOM.
Important Dates:
* Manuscript due date: May 31, 2014
* First decision notification: September 15, 2014
* Tentative publication schedule: First quarter of 2015
