Abstract :
We consider the problem of periodic task scheduling in sensor nodes powered with energy harvesters. In particular, we focus on systems with stochastic energy sources such as solar panels, and we present two energy-aware scheduling algorithms that reduce the likelihood of task violations. Our algorithms, called Smooth to Average Method (STAM) and Smooth to Full Utilization (STFU), are static schedulers that do not require prescience of the incoming energy to operate effectively.
