IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline: April 2, 2012
Notification of acceptance: April 23, 2012
Camera-ready paper due: April 30, 2012
Workshop date: June 11, 2012

To prolong the life time of battery-powered computing systems, low-power
components and protocols have been proposed. However, a battery-powered
system has a finite operation time. Power supplies using energy-
harvesting devices apparently open the door to unlimited and
uninterrupted operation. This requires a dedicated power management
that predicts available power budgets and aims at maximizing
performance metrics for a given budget. Power management encompasses
many facets, such as power leakage, radio duty cycle, sampling rates,
harvesting efficiency, energy intake prediction, etc.
WORKSHOP FORMAT AND TOPICS
The focus of this workshop is to provide a platform for discussing
intermediate research results and for vivid exchange of ideas. It is
also intended to identify required steps and promising future research
directions within scope in order to push the penetration power of
energy-harvesting sensor networks one step forward. For that purpose, we
particularly enencourage preliminary contributions by Ph.D. students in
addition to completed work. In addition to paper presentations, there
will be a poster and demo session.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Power management concepts for energy harvesting systems
- Power-aware scheduling, algorithms, and operating systems
- Network-wide and distributed energy management
- Energy-aware network planning (e.g., routing, duty-cycle adaptation)
- Scaling laws and fundamental limits
- Energy and performance profiling
- Online accounting of energy consumption
- Energy-harvesting prototypes
- Energy storage and buffers
- Models of energy harvesters
- Methods for energy intake prediction
- Real-world deployments and field tests
