Energy-Quality Scalable Systems
Approximate computing is a promising approach to the energy-efficient computing of error-resilient applications where the quality of computation results can be traded for energy efficiency, such as machine learning and signal processing.

Mobile and Embedded Security
Security- and privacy-sensitive applications and services on mobile and embedded computing platforms need low-power, low-cost security measures.

Industrial and Agricultural Internet-of-Things
Real-time monitoring and control in industrial and agricultural environments to facilitate optimal operation is challenging, but the benefit of improved productivity and environmental sustainability is tremendous.

Power-Aware System Design
Embedded systems are often designed under strict size and cost constraints, which requires judicious power- and energy-aware system design.
