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
