Objective
----------------------------------
The EESP workshop fosters the exchange of innovative strategies, tools, and
best practices to enhance energy efficiency in computing environments. Amid
rising energy costs and ambitious sustainability goals, optimizing energy
use is critical for managing computing infrastructure. The workshop focuses
on balancing performance, energy and power consumption, and sustainability,
offering practical guidance for exascale, Tier-1, and Tier-2 centers.
Attendees will gain insights into greener, cost-effective practices to
drive sustainability. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goals, EESP
bridges HPC and AI communities, empowering operators to help users make
energy-conscious decisions. It highlights sustained performance over peak
performance for future competitiveness.

Scope
----------------------------------
EESP invites academia, supercomputing centers, industry, and policymakers
to collaborate on advancing energy-efficient practices. Topics include
software development, hardware design, and energy-efficient practices
across various computing environments such as HPC clusters, data centers,
and cloud infrastructure. Energy efficiency is a growing challenge,
particularly for Tier-2 centers with limited resources. This workshop
fosters dialogue between Tier-0/1 and Tier-2 centers to adapt Tier-0/1
innovations for constrained budgets. It targets financial and technical
solutions applicable to HPC clusters, data centers, and cloud
infrastructures globally.

Topics of Interest
----------------------------------
The workshop aims to benefit the broader community by sharing use cases,
lessons learned, and best practices through descriptive papers. We solicit
papers which encompass the following topics of interest but are not limited
to:

-- Energy efficiency analysis in computing environments
-- Energy-aware software optimization techniques for HPC & AI
-- Energy-efficient hardware architectures and practices for HPC & AI
-- Energy-efficient scheduling and resource management
-- Energy-efficient data center administration and operation
-- Metrics for energy-efficient sustainable performance
-- Cluster-wide energy benchmarking with continuous regression analysis
-- Energy modeling, measurement, and behavioral insights for CPUs and GPUs
-- Tools for power and energy monitoring, management, and control
-- Renewable energy sources for HPC systems
-- Emerging trends and future challenges in energy consumption (e.g., AI
and machine learning workloads)

Format and Proceedings
----------------------------------
Papers should be either short (work-in-progress, 6 pages) or regular (12
pages), including references and appendices, with an option for two
additional pages after review to address reviewer feedback. Each submission
will undergo a minimum of three single-blind peer reviews. Review criteria
will include the originality, technical soundness, potential impact,
significance, and quality of presentation.
Papers must be submitted online via the EasyChair system in PDF format,
using the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) template.
The accepted papers will be published along with the ISC proceedings as
part of the Springer LNCS series.
