07041 Summary – Power-aware Computing Systems

The program of the Dagstuhl seminar 07041 on Power-aware Computing Systems featured presentations of about 25 participating researchers from academia and industry. They were chosen to represent major areas in targeting the energy consumption of a computing system – Applications, Compilers, Virtual-execution Environments, Operating Systems, and Hardware. In order to continue the work of the predecessor Dagstuhl seminar held in 2005, the results of that seminar [1] were discussed, with the aim of developing a vision of challenges, problems, and research activities in some of the key areas identified in 2005. The first part of the seminar was dedicated to lively discussions that led to the identification of three areas that were considered being most interesting. As a result, three groups were formed to further identify challenges and opportunities. The results of these groups are presented in this report. In addition, abstracts of the presentations as well as work-in-progress papers are published in these proceedings.
