Pervasive computing has emerged as a dynamic field at the intersection of
various domains, presenting unique opportunities also to address critical
global challenges. As sustainable energy consumption and supply have become
increasingly crucial, leveraging the potential of pervasive computing for
innovative solutions is of paramount importance. The Special Issue on
“Tackling Energy with Pervasive Computing” of IEEE Pervasive Magazin aims
to bring together researchers, practitioners, and experts in the field to
explore novel approaches, techniques, and technologies to address pressing
energy-related issues.

A common thread of all energy-related topics is the human element: people
are critical in the design and operation of energy generation as well as in
the decisions to consume energy.

This special issue of the IEEE Pervasive Computing will provide a forum for
papers investigating new forms of humans interacting with energy:

● Energy-Efficient Sensing and Actuation: optimizing energy consumption in
sensor networks, IoT devices, and intelligent control systems.
● Green Data Centers and Cloud Computing: Strategies and technologies to
reduce energy consumption in data centers and cloud infrastructure.
● Energy-Aware Software and Hardware Design: Novel approaches to designing
energy-efficient computing systems, algorithms, and software applications.
● Renewable Energy Integration: monitoring and optimizing  of renewable
energy sources, grid integration, and energy storage systems.
● Smart Grids and Energy Management: Applications of pervasive computing in
smart grid technologies, load management, and energy conservation in urban
environments.
● Human-Centric Energy Solutions: Human-computer interaction and pervasive
computing solutions for raising energy awareness, encouraging
energy-efficient behavior, and energy conservation.
● Environmental Sensing and Monitoring: The use of pervasive computing for
environmental data collection, analysis, and reporting to address climate
change and sustainability.
● Case Studies and Real-World Applications: Presentations of practical
implementations, success stories, and lessons learned in addressing
energy-related challenges with pervasive computing.


Submission Guidelines
The guest editors invite original and high-quality submissions addressing
all aspects of this field, as long as the connection to pervasive computing
and/or the Internet of Things is clear and central to the paper. Review or
summary articles — for example critical evaluations of the state of the
art, or an insightful analysis of established and upcoming technologies —
may be accepted if they demonstrate academic rigor and relevance.

Articles submitted to IEEE Pervasive Computing should not exceed 6,000
words, including all text, the abstract, keywords, bibliography,
biographies, and table text. The word count must include 250 words for each
table and figure. References should be limited to at most 20 citations (40
for survey papers). Authors are encouraged, but not required, to use a
template (for submission (accepted articles will ultimately be typeset by
magazine staff for publication).

Note that the magazine always welcomes submissions into its regular queue
that cover the role of computing in the physical world – as characterized
by visions such as the Internet of Things and Ubiquitous Computing. Topics
of interest are, e.g., hardware design, sensor networks, mobile systems,
human-computer interaction, industrial design, machine learning, data
science, but also societal issues including privacy and ethics. Simply
select the “Regular” option when submitting at the submission site
(submissions are possible at any time; no need for prior abstract by email).
