[Please let us know if it is undesirable to send CfPs to this list, and accept our apologies if this is the case.]

Due to the pandemic, DCOSS 2020 Workshops will be held in an online manner, without physical attendance. Still, all accepted papers will be included in the IEEE Proceedings as planned, in the same volume with the main event. Reduced registration fees will apply.

============================================================================== Call For Papers The 2nd International Workshop on Wirelessly Powered Systems and Networks (WPSN 2020)* ==============================================================================

May 25-27, 2020 Marina Del Rey, Los Angeles, California, USA https://ebulutvcu.github.io/WPSN-2020/

*co-located with DCOSS 2020 (technically co-sponsored by IEEE) ==============================================================================

******** Scope ********

Due to the pandemic, DCOSS 2020 Workshops will be held in an online manner, without physical attendance. Still, all accepted papers will be included in the IEEE Proceedings as planned, in the same volume with the main event. Reduced registration fees will apply.

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.

******** Benefits ********

WPSN 2020 will be co-located with DCOSS 2020 in Marina Del Rey, Los Angeles, California. Benefits of presenting a paper in WPSN 2020: - accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of DCOSS 2020 and submitted for publication to IEEE Xplore. - full 8-pages IEEE double column format - parallel presentations to DCOSS, for broader visibility

******** Topics of Interest ********

The focus areas of the contributions can vary according the entire spectrum of distributed WPT applications. Potential authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Scheduling algorithms in wirelessly rechargeable sensor networks - Integration of WPT in Aerial (UAV) Networks - Optimization and approximation algorithms (mobility/energy/data management) - Joint operation scheduling (routing, data gathering, ambient harvesting) - Precise algorithmic models and efficient distributed protocols - Algorithms for WPT devices deployment - Energy trading and economy models among peers - Safety provisioning through EM radiation control algorithms - Peer-to-peer and crowd charging algorithms (e.g., mobile social networks, sensor networks) - Far-field WPT for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) Networks and 5G - Algorithms for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) - WPT for medical implants and wearable devices - WPT for automotive technology and electric vehicles (Dynamic wireless charging, Vehicle-2-Grid (V2G) or Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V)) - WPT for mobile communications, wireless sensor networks and UAVs - WPT for home/Industrial appliances - Solutions for SWIPT - Software/Hardware solutions for energy sharing among peers - RF energy harvesting, rectennas and rectenna arrays - High-frequency rectifying circuits, power transmitters and devices - Near-field (inductive, resonant) energy transfer - Microwave transmission and beaming - Novel materials, fabrication techniques - Energy storage elements, RFID-related electronics and self-powered sensors - Measurement and characterization approaches for WPT components - Standardization, regulations and biological effects - Privacy and security in WPT based energy sharing networks - Distributed and decentralized approaches, interdisciplinary applications, and experimental implementations are particularly welcome
