Dynamic power, voltage noise and thermal management control loops have already become an integral part of chip and system design. New research papers in “wear out” and general reliability management have recently been published. </font><br><br><font size="2">These new generation management protocols have, however, opened up other sources of concern: e.g. control loop stability and robustness of the management protocols. The potential security holes exposed by the integrated control loops and system safety issues triggered by potential violations of power or thermal limits are other areas of concern. Also, side channel attack scenarios enabled by modulated power profiles have been documented in prior research.</font><br><br><font size="2">We seek to motivate the research community into adopting a holistic approach to mitigating the power wall and the concomitant reliability-security wall. We have coined the term "Energy-Secure System Architectures" to cover the range of research being pursued within industry and academia in order to ensure robust and secure functionality, while meeting the energy-related constraints of the "green computing" era. This segmented workshop offering, composed of lectures provided by experts in the areas of power/thermal management, reliability and security, provides a comprehensive view of the hardware and software aspects of Energy-Secure System Architectures</font><br><br><font size="2"> IMPORTANT DATES</font><br><br><font size="2">Submission Deadline: March 1st, 2019</font><br><font size="2">Acceptance Decision: March 15th, 2019</font><br><font size="2">Final Submission: April 5th, 2019</font><br><font size="2">Presentation Slides: April 26th, 2019</font><br><br><br><font size="2">TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE</font><br><br><font size="2">Saibal Mukhopadhyay, Georgia Tech University</font><br><font size="2">Pradip Bose, IBM Research</font><br><font size="2">Alper Buyuktosunoglu, IBM Research</font><br><font size="2">Augusto Vega, IBM Research</font><br><font size="2">Francisco J.
