Introduction:

Wireless networks are playing vital role in current emerging technological era by

providing ease and access in multi daily life applications. Among the many challenges in

wireless networks is the finite battery power in the nodes affecting the shorter lifetime of

wireless nodes and thus the network life. Wireless nodes are normally powered by battery

and the finite battery power shall impede the performance of wireless networks.

Numerous techniques related to energy aware routing, clustering, scheduling, energy

aware MAC routing protocols and data aggregation have been proposed to address

energy efficient issue and focus to increase the lifetime of wireless networks. Though few

of them provide better solution up to simulations and assumptions only, the stated energy

efficiency issue still requires major attention. Possible solutions such as battery

replacement, higher battery capacity, and low transmission range could mitigate such

issues but they need to compromise on other factors such as cost, reliability and energy

usage. In fact one of the promising alternatives to address such situations is to look into

power recharging techniques for wireless nodes, in particular the energy harvesting

approaches. Energy harvesting is the process of hunting energy from the environment

such as solar, wind or other sources such as body heat, foot strike, frequency harvesting

or vibration, and converting it into electrical energy. Proper harvesting rate can enhance

the performance of the network and extend the lifetime of the entire networks.

Biological inspired algorithms are now becoming a new paradigm to look for naturally

inspired solutions for self-healing mechanism to address energy issues in wireless

networks. Biologically-inspired solutions use natural selection mechanisms to provide

promising factors for sustainable energy management in energy harvesting. This proposal

draws attention to the energy harvesting and transmission mechanism in wireless

networks from the technological perspective with respect to the nature inspired solutions

in energy harvesting. The advancement of wireless technology in the current trend is

increasingly influenced and inspired by the biological norm.

Objective of the Book:

The ultimate objective of this volume is to provide the academic and industrial

communities with recent advances in technological development, application and impact

of technologies for sustainable energy and environment.

The objective of this book is two folds. The first objective is to encourage more

research in energy harvesting and transmission technologies. The second objective is to

publish the excellent research been conducted at this moment of time. Specifically, we

seek to explore new possibilities based on biologically-inspired solutions for

sustainability in the context of energy and environment.

Book outline and strategy:

The following strategy is used to edit this book. The book contents would be splitted into

three parts: The first part is to specify strictly about biologically-inspired computing. The

second part focuses on energy harvesting and wireless transmission, leaving the third part

open to general chapter submissions including merging of biologically-inspired

computing and energy harvesting. Thus, this book is for

introducing biologically-inspired computing and its perspectives

introducing energy harvesting, wireless energy transmission and its

perspectives

Exploring and illustrating the current and future trends in combining

biologically-inspired computing with energy harvesting and energy

transmission

Target Audience:

This book is intended to serve a broad audience including researchers, academicians,

students and working professional in the field of green technology, energy harvesting,

biologically-inspired computing, energy management, autonomic computing, sustainable

environment and networking.
