Abstract

An energy harvester is a small part of a larger embedded system. Historically, such systems have typically been designed in the same way as their battery-powered systems, often adding significant complexity to make the harvester 'appear' to the load as if it were in fact a battery. In this talk, I will propose an alternative approach, that of energy-driven computing, where the design of applications and systems is rethought such that the energy environment is a key factor in the design process. I will illustrate this through two approaches: intermittent computing and power-neutral computing, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that they bring.
