Energy Harvesting Communications (EHC) offers the tantalizing possibility of perpetual operation, as the communicating nodes only use the energy harvested from their environment for processing and communication. However, the energy harvesting process may be sporadic, due to which nodes may temporarily run out of energy. Algorithms and protocols need to be designed that are robust to the sporadic and possibly limited energy resources available for sensing and communication.

Energy efficiency (EE) is a topic of very active research in wireless communications and networking. However, realistic evaluations in real-world deployments are challenging and time consuming. Often, different simplifying assumptions are made, which makes the results (a) applicable only in specific scenarios, and (b) hard to compare across literature. There is thus a need to come up with standardized tools for benchmarking, and to develop absolute yardsticks against which all schemes that strive to improve the EE of communications can be evaluated and compared. With the recent advances in simulator tools as well as an increasing number of testbeds, the next step in evaluating energy efficiency is now practicable: realistic evaluations of energy efficiency for wireless systems, wireless sensor networks and mobile systems.

This workshop aims to bring together academic experts and industrial researchers interested in the design and development of EHC, realistic evaluations of the EE and energy consumption of architectures and protocols, and novel applications in wireless communications and networks. It will create a forum for researchers to share results and collectively identify design principles for optimizing the performance of EHC and EE evaluations.

Topics include (but are not limited to):

* Fundamental information theoretic limits of EHC * Harvesting-Aware MAC and routing protocols * Cooperative communications and relaying using EHC * Quality of Service in EHC systems * Lifetime enhancement of conventional networks using EHC * Novel applications of EHC * Realistic design and evaluation of EE protocols in wireless networks * Implementations, Testbeds and Experimental results * Energy measurement methodologies and concepts * Experiences and lessons learned from real-world EE evaluations
