WReCS 2013 - The Second International Workshop on Renewable Computing Systems (WReCS-2013)

Since the industrial revolution, human civilization has evolved rapidly. However, in the near future, permanent growth will be suppressed due to the finite resources on Earth. Therefore, it is an urgent need to achieve a sustainable global society.　If we fail to move to a sustainable society slowly, you would be visited by an unprecedented catastrophe. In order to avoid such a catastrophe and to achieve a sustainable society peacefully, we need to reuse rare resources and to use renewable energy efficiently. The renewable computing systems aim to achieve such objectives.
The Second International Workshop on Renewable Computing Systems (WReCS-2013) will be held in Melbourne, Australia in conjunction with the 15th international conference on network-based information systems (NBiS-2012).
This workshop provides an international forum for researcher and participants to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges and present original ideas in all aspect of renewable computing. We do not welcome only research papers on renewable computing but also reports on requirements of renewable computing from the viewpoint of social activity.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
Reconfigurable Systems
Contactless Chip Interface
Fault Tolerant/Recovery Techniques
Dependable Devices
Aged deterioration of Semiconductor devices and recovery techniques
Energy-aware computing
Energy efficient computing systems
Renewable energy based system
Bio-inspired computing
Evolutionary and Emergent computing
Metabolic computing and architecture
Social activity for 3R
Case studies on renewable computing
