Cyber-physical systems (CPS) take computation, communication, monitoring and control to a new level of complexity due to their inherent integration with each other and the physical world. Energy efficiency is paramount in such systems since high energy consuming hardware components are envisioned to be deeply embedded within the physical environment, thus calling for the need to incorporate energy awareness into the design and analysis of a CPS rather than as an afterthought. Solutions must reach beyond those for stand-alone real-time systems or homogeneous sensor-networks, to be able to reason about heterogeneous systems of systems integrated at multiple levels, while guaranteeing their safety-critical requirements. This workshop calls for papers that seek to rethink the notion of energy and power awareness, at the device, architectural or operating system (scheduling) levels, in the context of CPS design and analysis.
