Complementing the topics of SenSys 2015, this workshop will bring researchers together to explore the challenges, issues and opportunities in the research, design, and engineering of energy-harvesting and energy-neutral sensing systems. These are an enabling technology for future applications in smart energy, transportation, environmental monitoring and smart cities. Innovative solutions in hardware for energy scavenging, adaptive algorithms, and power management policies are need to enable uninterrupted operation.
High quality original technical articles are solicited, describing advances in sensing systems powered by energy harvesting, as well as those which describe practical deployments and implementation experiences. Attendees will benefit from ENSsys’ co-location with SenSys 2015, widely regarded as one of the most prestigious conferences on sensor network research.
WORKSHOP SCOPE
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
– Power management algorithms for energy-neutrality
– Power management circuits and systems
– Approaches to enable interoperability between energy-neutral networks
– OS-support for energy harvesting sensing systems
– Network-wide distributed energy management
– Online measurement of energy intake and consumption
– Online prediction of energy intake and consumption
– Reliable operation in energy harvesting sensor systems
– Modelling, simulation and tools for effective design of energy-neutral sensing systems
– Architectures and standards
– Internet of (energy-neutral) things
– Innovative applications
– Experiences from real-world deployments
– Networking support for energy-neutral and energy-harvesting sensing systems
– Event-powered sensing systems and networks
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We solicit two types of paper submission: technical papers (up to 6 pages) and demo/poster papers (up to 2 pages). Papers should be submitted for consideration via the workshop website, prior to the submission deadline. Papers should adhere to the formatting guidelines; templates are available from the workshop website. Papers will undergo double-blind review, and will be reviewed for novelty, relevance and quality. Accepted submissions will be available on the ACM digital library at least one week before the conference.
