Energy is a scarce resource in any mobile and wireless networks that
consist of devices/vehicles mainly powered by their batteries. Providing
energy ubiquitously to these devices for making them functional for a long
time is a challenging task. With the advent of energy sharing techniques,
either by wired or wireless mediums (wireless power transfer – WPT), it is
possible to extend the lifetime of such networks by utilizing the energy
from other energy sources (e.g., chargers, other devices) within the
network. Recently, there is a growing number of research studies that adopt
the energy sharing for several energy optimization problems in different
applications of mobile networks including Wireless Sensor Network (WSN),
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN), Mobile Social Network (MSN) or Vehicular
Networks. Energy sharing has been applied between mobile agents ranging
from low-power devices such as sensors to moderate and high-power ones such
as smartphones and electric vehicles. However, depending on the networking
scenario as well as the form of energy sharing, different problems have
been studied. This diverse application scenario has on the other hand
resulted in isolated research communities working on the similar problems
based on the common energy sharing concept in mobile networks.



The objective of the workshop is to bring together academics, researchers,
and industry professionals from around the world to discuss and exchange
ideas on recent developments, current research challenges and future
directions in the use of energy sharing among mobile nodes in different
network applications and benefit from each other's findings and initiate
collaborations to address the interdisciplinary nature of the topic.



Toward this goal, the workshop will span the topics including but are not
limited to:



·      Wirelessly rechargeable sensor networks

·      Device-to-device (D2D) energy sharing in Mobile Social Networks

·      Opportunistic Energy Sharing in Delay Tolerant Networks

·      Energy sharing protocols and scheduling algorithms in Mobile Energy
Networks

·      Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Mobile Energy Networks

·      Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Mobile Energy Networks

·      Incentive models for energy sharing by peers

·      Energy trading and economy models among peers

·      Aerial (UAV) Mobile Energy Networks

·      Far-Field Wireless Power Transfer for Internet-of-Things (IoT)
Networks

·      Crowd charging solutions in Mobile Social Networks

·      Hybrid Mobile Energy Networks

·      Software/Hardware solutions for energy sharing among peers

·      Privacy and Security in Mobile Energy Networks



PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Manuscripts submitted for consideration should not have been already
published elsewhere and should not be under review or submitted for review
elsewhere during the consideration period. Manuscripts must be written in
English, are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must
strictly adhere to the IEEE template format available here. All accepted
papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE Digital Library (IEEE
Xplore), showing their affiliation with IEEE WoWMoM. There will be no
separate workshop registration, as one single registration will cover both
conference and workshops participation. At least one author of each
accepted paper is required to attend and present his/her work at the
workshop. Papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS (
https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25783).



IMPORTANT DATES:

• Submission deadline: March 25, 2019

• Notification: April 15, 2019

• Camera Ready: April 29, 2019
