Workshop on Hilariously Low-Power Computing: Pushing the Boundaries of Intermittently Powered Devices (HLPC2016)

Co-located with ASPLOS'16 April 2, 2016, Atlanta, GA, USA http://www.hlpc2016.com/index.html

Scope:

Intermittently Powered Devices (IPDs) are embedded devices that have no tethered power supply and very little, or no energy storage capacity. These devices typically operate using energy harvested from their environment e.g., RF, solar, vibration, etc. When energy is intermittently available, IPDs can perform computation, use peripheral devices (e.g., sensors), and communicate (e.g., via backscatter). These devices currently operate at approximately 10 microJ/Byte energy consumption, enabling today's devices to support simple, short-lived, primarily isolated applications. With improvements in computer architectures, hardware and software systems, the communications stack, emerging memory technologies, and energy harvesting and transfer, we envision devices that operate in the sub-nJ/Byte range, supporting long-running, sophisticated, sensor-rich, widely-communicating applications.

This workshop exists to bring together researchers at the intersection of programming languages, software systems, extreme low-power computer architecture, and embedded communication and computing devices.

Call for Papers:

The workshop seeks paper submission in four main areas:

* IPDs (Intermittently Powered Devices) * IPDs at the limits of minimum power consumption - HLPDs (Hilariously Low Power Devices) * IPDs that are embedded - DEIs (Deeply Embedded IPDs) * IPDs and communication - HLPComms (Hilariously Low-Power Communication)

These areas are mapped into topic for consideration that include:

* Software-defined wirelessly-programmable IPDs * Programming techniques for IPDs * Backscatter and other ultra-low power communication primitives * System support for reliability and robustness to intermittence * Computer architecture for IPDs * Operating systems for IPDs * Applications of emerging, non-volatile memory and compute devices in IPDs * Novel energy harvesting and transfer techniques * Tradeoffs between power transfer and communication and coding for both * Error-correction and control (both for storage and communication) * Theoretical limits of computation and communication in IPDs * Studies and experience reports on emerging IPD applications * Testbeds, platform engineering reports, and experimental datasets

Deadlines:

Paper Submission: February 15, 2016 (GMT-5) Notification of acceptance: March 4, 2016 (GMT-5) Final paper submission: March 18, 2016 (GMT-5) Workshop day: April 2, 2016

Paper Submission Guidelines Papers must be formatted using the ACM SIGPLANhttp://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ style guidelines. Papers can be at most 6 pages in length including figures, tables, and references. For further details on the submission process please consult http://hlpc2016.com/call.html.
