Call for Papers

With the development of WSNs, more complicated and challenging applications
now can be targeted by small and smart systems. Although

most of these applications require little power, the gradual degradation of
the batteries further decreases the useable lifetime of

WSNs. Aside from relying on revolutionary development of battery
technologies, one of the most important ways to improve the system

lifetime is to harvest energy from ambient environmental energy sources.
Energy harvesting devices efficiently and effectively

capture, accumulate, store, condition and manage this energy and supply it
in a form that can be used to perform a helpful task.

Researchers need to design practical distributed and centralized algorithms
and to introduce novel theoretical models or evaluation

methodologies to challenge various kinds of research problems originated
from Environmental Energy Harvesting for WSNs. Although

there are a large number of developed applications using energy harvesting
system power are now practical, there are still many

problems lead to considerable challenges in WSNs based on Energy
Harvesting. The special issue is intended to encourage high-quality

researches in WSNs based on Environmental Energy Harvesting, and push the
theoretical and practical research forward for a deeper

understanding in the fundamental algorithm, modeling, and analysis
techniques of Energy Harvesting. Authors are invited to submit

papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of Energy
Harvesting, including algorithms, modeling, technology and

application. All submissions must describe original research, not published
or currently under review for another workshop,

conference, or journal.

The topics suggested can be discussed in terms of concepts, the state of
the art, standards, implementations and evaluation, and

running experiments or applications. Potential topics include, but are not
limited to:

- MEMS technologies
- Energy storage and management for WSNs
- Solar/Thermoelectric/Vibration/Biomechanical Energy Harvesting for WSNs
- Simulating and modeling energy harvesting WSNs
- Evaluation of energy harvesting applications and systems
- Standardization of energy harvesting
- Testbed for energy harvesting
- User studies and experiences
- Applications of Energy Harvesting
