The FEMTO-ST Institute and the University Bourgogne Franche-Comté (UBFC) are hosting a workshop on renewable energy-powered datacenters. This workshop is co-organized by FEMTO-ST Institute and IRIT Lab. This workshop intends to bring together people from academia and industry working in all related fields (IT, electrical engineering, control systems, thermal engineering, etc.), and enable them to share their latest progress and discuss current challenges. Participants from all disciplines related to the topic are invited to contribute. The workshop will feature keynote speakers, technical sessions as well as demos.
After presentation, selected participants will be invited to submit in a special issue of Elsevier’s “Sustainable Computing: Informatics and Systems” journal.
The workshop is supported by the ANR DATAZERO project (www.datazero.org) under grant n°ANR-15-CE25-0012.
