Technical Programme
ENSsys will be run in a hybrid format this year. For this reason, we are operating on a slightly compressed schedule to maximize accessibility across time zones.
Remote attendees can join via Zoom, here.
For realtime chat with attendees or the ENSsys organizers, please use the SenSys / BuildSys 2021 Slack.
For those unable to attend synchronously, we will be recording the opening remarks and the demo spotlights. To promote and ensure free and open discussion, we will not be recording during the demo village or the workshop sessions.
Overview
The ENSsys schedule is designed to co-ordinate where possible with the full SenSys schedule.

Full Programme
Demo Session & Energy Harvesting Village
This session will spotlight and showcase real-world, working energy-harvesting and energy-neutral systems. To accommodate the hybrid nature of the event, we will kick off the session with a series of spotlights of each of the demos. After the spotlights, attendees can visit demos for more details via physical attendance at demo setups or checking in to demo-specific video conferencing rooms.
The open demo session is timed to overlap with the coffee break for all workshops, so demo presenters are encouraged to try to hang around near their demos such that attendees of other SenSys workshops may have an opportunity to visit your demo.
We have arranged the schedule of spotlights to optimize for hybrid operation. We will first “tour” the in-person demos, with on-site personnel visiting each demo in turn and carrying a camera for remote attendees. We will then have the in-person folks come together for a viewing of the remote demos. During the village, we will have user-selectable breakouts for the remote demos. In-person demos will also have a breakout room, where they can use the chat feature to interact with remote participants (possibly video/audio as well, but we expect the crowded nature of the in-person demo environment to make text chat the better option).
| WET (Coimbra local) | Presenter Modality | |
|---|---|---|
| 15:10-15:20 | In Person | Demo: Energy-Aware Battery-Less Bluetooth Low Energy Device Prototype Powered By Ambient Light |
| 15:20-15:30 | In Person | Demo: Demonstration of an Energy-Aware Task Scheduler for Battery-Less IoT Devices |
| 15:30-15:40 | In Person | Demo: RF Power Transmission: Energy Harvesting for Self-Sustaining Miniaturized Sensor Nodes |
| 15:40-15:50 | In Person | Demo: A Battery-Free Long-Range Wireless Smart Camera for Face Recognition (Best Demo Winner, Community Choice) |
| 15:50-16:00 | Remote | Demo: Powering an E-Ink Display from Soil Bacteria (Best Demo Winner, Organizer's Choice) |
| 16:00-16:10 | Remote | Demo: A Simulation and Prototyping Toolkit for Airflow Energy Harvesting in Vehicles |
| 16:10-17:00 | Hybrid | Open Village & Coffee Break |
Workshop Sessions
For paper authors, ENSsys will adopt a discussion-oriented workshop format. Paper authors will give a short overview of their ideas and prompts for discussion.
Given the challenges of hybrid-based discussions, the plan is to have two workshop breakouts, one for online attendees and one for in-person attendees.
