The MAGEEC project will be hosting the Energy-efficient Computing Developer Room at FOSDEM 2014. The focus for this will be wider than the MAGEEC project, but will remain at the level of energy-aware computing across the system stack.

The CFP is included in full below for circulation.

The schedule will be added here as it develops.

Call for participation

We're delighted to announce the call for participation for the Energy-efficient Computing developer room at FOSDEM 2014.

FOSDEM is held annually at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and takes place over the first weekend in February. The developer room will run on Sunday 2nd February only.

Proposals are solicited in the area of energy-efficient computing under the following categories: a) 10-minute lightning talks; b) 30-minute technical presentations; c) workshop contributions.

Lightning talks should aim to give the audience a brief introduction to a new topic or innovation, with the expectation that technical presentations will provide a more in-depth analysis of more developed concepts.

A workshop is planned at which participants will have the opportunity to use instrumented hardware to measure the energy consumption of applications. Platforms available will include BeagleBone, STM32F4DISCOVERY and the Arduino-compatible, Shrimp. Contributions to the workshop may include applications which will have their energy consumption measured and additional hardware platforms to be instrumented.

All contributions should be aimed at a technical audience and related to F/OSS and/or, where applicable, open source hardware.

While energy-efficient computing is a broad domain that extends well beyond computing devices, the developer room focus is on energy-aware computing at the different levels within the computer system stack. Topics include, but are not limited to, techniques to measure the energy consumption of applications, energy-efficient compilation, energy-performance trade-offs, energy-aware operating systems, benchmarks, hardware that supports energy-efficient system design.

To propose a lightning talk, presentation or workshop contribution visit:

And please ensure that you select the *Energy-efficient computing devroom* track.

The deadline for submissions is Monday 18th November. The developer room is being organised by the MAGEEC project and any questions should be directed to the mailing list:
