Abstract

ENSsys reflects the growing interest and research activity worldwide that energy-aware and energy harvesting sensing systems are attracting. Complementing the topics of ACM SenSys, ENSsys brings together international researchers to explore the challenges, issues, and opportunities in the research, design, and engineering of energy-harvesting and energy-neutral sensing systems. These are a technological cornerstone for future applications in smart energy, future transportation, environmental monitoring, and smart cities.
