Minitrack on
ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN MOBILE AND PERVASIVE COMPUTING SYSTEMS
http://www.ing.unipi.it/energy-man/

to be held within
The Software Technology Track of the
38th HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES (HICSS-38)

January 3-6, 2005
Hilton Waikoloa Village
Big Island, Hawaii
----------------------------------------------------------------------


CALL FOR PAPERS

The Minitrack focuses on policies for power management in mobile and pervasive computing systems. Of particular interest to the Minitrack are papers concerning power management in networking activities since the wireless interface is the main
responsible for power consumption in small-size devices. Results related to systems that have been implemented are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Energy-efficient architectures
- System-level solutions for energy saving
- Cross-layer design of energy-efficient systems
- Energy-aware applications
- Energy saving in mobile Web access
- Middleware support to energy saving
- Energy management in P2P networks
- Energy management in infrastructure-based networks
- Energy management in ad hoc and sensor networks
- Energy-aware routing
- Energy saving and security
- Performance evaluation of energy management solutions
- Measurement studies


PAPER SUBMISSION

1.Paper submission is in two steps. In the first step, authors submit a 300-word abstract (by April 15, 2004) to the Minitrack co-chairs for guidance and indication of appropriate content. In the second step, authors submit the full paper (by June
15, 2004).
2. For full paper submission, please follow the guidelines at
