Call for Papers — EMSICC 2027

The 12th International Workshop on Energy Management for Sustainable Internet-of-Things and Cloud Computing
Co-located with IEEE FiCloud 2027 — Prague, Czech Republic, 16-19 August 2027
https://emsicc2027.roc.cnam.fr

IoT and cyber-physical systems (CPS) face strong constraints on energy, computation, memory and connectivity, and often outsource storage and computation to the cloud. EMSICC brings together researchers, academics and industry experts to address the design of energy-efficient and sustainable solutions that use distributed computing and AI/ML techniques for CPS, IoT and cloud systems, including the impact of energy-aware strategies on machine learning performed in the cloud.

Topics

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Energy-efficient wireless communication protocols for IoT
• Energy-aware network design for smart environments
• Energy-efficient real-time systems and architectures for IoT and CPS
• Energy-efficient Intelligent Transportation Systems
• Dynamic energy optimization for real-time systems and applications
• Adaptive middleware for energy-efficient computing
• Enhanced performance and QoS in energy-efficient systems
• Sensing, monitoring, control and management of energy systems
• Modelling, control and architectures for renewable energy generation resources
• Privacy and security in energy-aware platforms
• Metrics, benchmarks, interfaces and tools for the energy dimension
• Energy-aware hardware platforms; specification and validation of energy-aware platforms
• Energy efficiency and virtualization in the Cloud of Things
• Machine learning approaches for energy management; impact of energy-aware strategies in clouds using ML
• Software-Defined Vehicles
• Energy-aware agentic AI: autonomous AI agents for IoT, edge and cloud resource management
• Multi-agent systems for distributed energy management and orchestration in IoT and CPS
• LLM-based agents for energy optimization, task scheduling and computation offloading
• Energy footprint and sustainability of agentic AI and LLM inference in the cloud and at the edge
• Security, trust and resource governance of AI agents in energy-constrained environments
