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.

Sincerely,
