======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd International Workshop on Wirelessly Powered Systems and Networks (WPSN) VIRTUAL EVENT (with IEEE DCOSS 2021, July 14-16, 2021)
Website: https://wpsn2021.github.io/ =======================================================
**** Important Dates ****
Abstract submission deadline: May 14, 2021 Paper Submission: May 21, 2021 Acceptance Notification: June 11, 2021 Camera Ready: June 18, 2021 (firm) Early Registration Deadline: July 05, 2021
**** Aims and Scope ****
Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is the driving technology that will enable the next generation of the distributed sensor systems, including battery-less sensors, passive RFID, as well as IoT, 5G and M2M solutions. Distributed WPT-enabled devices can be powered by harvesting energy from the surroundings (for example electromagnetic energy), leading to a novel communication systems networks paradigm, the Wirelessly Powered Systems and Networks. The WPSN workshop aims at providing an interdisciplinary reference forum focusing on the use of WPT as an enabler for improving the efficiency of current distributed communication systems and networks. Therefore, both tools and techniques to design (or improve) relevant distributed operations using WPT, as well as results from the analysis of data obtained through this enabler, are welcome in the workshop.
WPSN aims at engaging researchers working on WPT-enabled networking protocols, algorithms and optimization; WPT-enabled communication methods, tools and techniques; Far-/near-field WPT technologies for networks and communications.
* Important Note: * - An extended version of the best WPSN 2021 paper will be invited to appear in a Special Issue of the MDPI Sensors journal (JCR/SJR Q1), without publication fees. - Accepted and presented papers will appear in IEEE Xplore and all major publication indexes (WoS, Scopus, etc).
