Data centers are used from web searches to protein analysis. Energy consumption of these systems is part of the fastest growing of the energy consumption systems. As an example, worldwide cloud computing systems’ consumption fits between the electricity consumption of Germany and Russia and would rank 6th as a country. With the rise of smart cities, and the connexion of all objects from fridges to heaters, IT systems energy consumption will rise even faster. With the rise of high level services, from Internet of Things, to HPC systems passing through Cloud systems, more and more possibilities are offered and the quality of the decision systems have a large impact on their energy consumption. Consuming such quantities of energy produces a lot of heat. Thermal-aware management aims to improve power consumption efficiency by coordinating resource management and thermal based decisions. This workshop is focused on scheduling policies to address energy efficiency for large scale Data Centers and Internet of Things. Topics: The main topics to be covered by this workshop include (but are not limited to): Energy-aware scheduling for Data Centers, Grid, Cloud and IoT Thermal-aware scheduling of Data Centers, Grid, Cloud and IoT Resources provisioning and scheduling Resources management and Quality of service Energy-aware metrics for Data Centers, Grid, Cloud and IoT Data Center optimization Cloud optimization Energy-aware simulations Thermal-aware simulations Energy- and Thermal models of Data Centers, Grid, Cloud and IoT Resources prediction Applications characterization Tools and simulators for resource management Energy- and Thermal-aware runtimes for Data Centers, Cloud and IoT Return of experiment on improving energy efficiency of Data Centers or Clouds. The papers should not exceed six single-spaced pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, 11-point fonts, IEEE 8.5 x 11 inch) including everything, e.g., abstract, research description, figures, tables, and references. All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed and evaluated on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the scope of the workshop. Papers presented at the workshop will be published in the official conference proceedings (through IEEE Digital Library) contingent on two conditions: (1) at least one author of an accepted paper must register for the conference at the time of the submission of the final manuscript and (2) one of the authors must appear to present the paper at the workshop. Registration: Participants will be required to register for the main IGCC'14 conference, which includes access to the workshops.
