This session presents four papers on power/thermal techniques for energy efficient systems. The first paper proposes an ultra-low-power management circuit for a miniature sensor node completely powered by an energy harvester for autonomous operation. The second paper presents a bio-inspired power saving method to reduce the power consumption of LED backlit panels. The third paper combines clock and power gating to save energy in disabled flip-fops. And finally the fourth paper introduces a new thermal sensor placement algorithm by exploiting the correlation of power estimation errors among functional blocks.

10:00		End of session Coffee Break in Exhibition Hall Monday and Friday morning and afternoon coffee breaks will be located in the Salle de Reception. On Tuesday-Thursday the breaks will be located in the Exhibition Hall. Morning and afternoon (with the exception of Thursday afternoon which is a 30 minute break) coffee breaks on Tuesday-Thursday are extended breaks and will run for 60 minutes (coffee points will be open for the first 30 minutes only) from the start time indicated in the programme.
