IMPACCT 2002

IEEE Workshop on Integrated Management of Power Aware Communications, Computing and NeTworking

(colocated with IEEE International Conference on Communications)

May 2 2002, New York City, NY

Organizers: Ramesh Karri (ramesh@india.poly.edu) and David Goodman (dgoodman@duke.poly.edu)

Hundreds of millions of owners of digital cameras, camcorders, personal digital assistants, notebook computers, and cell phones are acutely aware that conservation of battery energy is a major challenge in portable information devices. Under the heading of wireless Internet, almost every day brings news of a new item on the market that merges two or more of these devices. With this convergence, energy management is becoming critical and complex particularly when integrating video signal processing with mobile communications and networking.

The IMPACCT workshop will focus on integrated energy management in portable multimedia communications devices beyond low-power electronic design by identifying hooks/controls that are required at various levels. The workshop will be a forum for presenting theoretical and simulation studies, field measurements, algorithm development and experimental test beds related to low power computing, mobile communication and networking. The workshop will foster integrative power optimization studies that jointly consider computing, communications and networking. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:

§ Smart battery technologies

§ Power consumption in RF transmitter/receiver and adaptive power control

§ Power aware architectures

§ Compiler and operating system level power management

§ Power aware protocol design across all levels of the protocol stack

§ Power adaptive secure wireless multimedia communication

§ Application level power management and

§ Low Energy Wireless Applications

§ Power aware real-time embedded systems

§ Low-power multimedia portable communication and networking test beds
