ESSA 2013 - Third Workshop on Energy-Secure System Architectures (ESSA)

In particular, the power and reliability “walls” have sprung up as major obstacles to achieving historical growth rates in system performance ? and this forum deals with the topic of how to build up the science, engineering (and perhaps art) of constructing systems that are energy-secure in the sense that: (a) they are guaranteed to adhere to stipulated energy, power or thermal limits; and, (b) they are immune to maliciously or inadvertently launched program viruses that could disrupt the power management (control) system and cause severe performance or functional damage to the system ? if unchecked.
