CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER



Title: Rechargeable Sensor Networks: Technology, Theory and Application

(to be published in 2013 by World Scientific Publishing)





Introduction

============

With the rapidly growing applications of large-scale sensor networks, the
need to uncover efficient energy source is becoming more and more
compelling, in order to reduce cost and run sensor networks perpetually.
Harvesting energy from ambient energy resources to power the electronic
devices has been recognized as a promising solution to satisfy the long
period requirement of unattended operation. Achieving sustainable network
lifetime via battery-aware design brings forth a new frontier for energy
optimization techniques, which experienced low-power hardware design at the
early stage, evolved into power-aware design, and recently, battery-aware
design. As a result, approaches of harvesting energy from sources of solar,
vibration, temperature variations, wind, biochemical energy and passive
human power, have been proposed as alternatives to replace the batteries on
the electronic devices.



In practice, there is an increasing trend in integrating energy harvesting
technology and wireless sensor network, instead of optimizing hardware
design of energy harvesting and network protocols separately, in order to
maximize the network performance. A variety of applications can be observed
under development or in practical usage, e.g. surveillance system and
personal healthcare. The advantages of different energy-harvesting
approaches and their impacts on the overall performance of sensor networks
should be systematically compared and analyzed, so as to make the
rechargeable sensor networks more practical, efficient, and robust.
