There has been a dramatic increase in recent years in the number of battery-powered embedded electronic devices. However, the lifetime of these devices is limited by battery capacity. Energy harvesting is an efficient solution to overcome this ...

The restricted energy budget of energy-aware and -predictive sensor nodes demands algorithms for adaptive duty-cycling and task scheduling. However, their comparison and development is hindered by the lack of reproducibility of environmental conditions, ...

We tackle the problem of developing a wearable device that operates indoors on harvested RF energy, but can support gesture tracking applications that require relatively energy-intensive inertial sensors. We propose an infrastructure-assisted energy ...

A hidden dimension of software and hardware security is secret-revealing information disseminated through side channels. Even the most secure systems tend to reveal their secrets through secret-dependent computation. Secret-dependent computation is ...

Embedded systems have long been synonymous with special purpose, single stakeholder computing. However, as these systems have become more capable and the demands placed on them have become more varied and variable, embedded software is beginning to ...

Energy harvesters are widely used to power wireless sensor systems, but the produced power is generally low, and can vary abruptly due to changes in the environment or the device's location. Energy buffers (batteries or supercapacitors) are normally ...

Sensor systems powered by energy harvesting usually include batteries or supercapacitors which impact the system cost and size, need time to be charged and are not environmentally friendly. In recent years, designers have proposed a new concept called ...

Wireless sensing systems for harsh environments, especially at high temperatures, are of great interest to many industries. Wireless sensing systems consist of sensors, electronic interfaces and processors, energy harvesters, and wireless transmission ...

Energy harvesting is a promising solution to powering billions of sensing and actuation devices in the age of the Internet of Things. However, efforts required to design and implement low-power and harvesting-aware embedded systems are not ...

Monitoring the power consumption, in both residential and industrial sectors, is becoming a critical task for ensuring a sustainable growth. In this paper, we introduce a new generation of smart meters that are powered only by the energy harvested from ...
