The journal welcomes contributions presenting practical or theoretical work, including methods, subsystems, algorithms, circuits, or full system integrations.</p> <p>Our mission is to provide a platform where valuable insights and emerging concepts can be communicated early, even before reaching the level of fully polished or finalized research. We recognize that traditional publication formats often obscure the core ideas authors wish to convey. In contrast, WiPiEC encourages clarity and openness, allowing authors to present their work in a methodical yet accessible manner that highlights the essence of their contributions.</p> <p>Each submission should aim to engage the community by offering something of interest, whether a novel approach, a promising direction, or lessons learned during development. While formal completeness is not required, all work must be clearly structured and thoughtfully presented.</p> <p>WiPiEC is a peer-reviewed, open-access publication with a tradition dating back to 2015.</p> <p>Publication identifiers of WiPiEC are:<br />ISSN: <strong>2980-7298</strong><br />COBBIS.CG-ID: <strong>25189380</strong><br />Publisher: <a href="https://wipiec.digitalheritage.me/index.php/wipiecjournal/about#id">WiPiEC Consortium</a><br />[<a href="https://wipiec.digitalheritage.me/index.php/wipiecjournal/about">Journal Info</a>] [<a href="https://wipiec.digitalheritage.me/index.php/wipiecjournal/epolicies">Editorial Policies</a>] [<a href="https://wipiec.digitalheritage.me/index.php/wipiecjournal/about/submissions">Submissions</a>]</p> https://www.wipiec.digitalheritage.me/index.php/wipiecjournal/article/view/81 2025-10-14T09:47:39+00:00 Florian Krebs florian.krebs@rptu.de Klaus Schneider klaus.schneider@rptu.de

<p>The dataflow model of computation is well-established in many application areas, including image encoding and decoding. This model consists of actors that process data and communication channels that transmit data between actors. However, when mapping these models to the systems on which they will be executed and synthesizing the necessary code, the number of actors often exceeds the number of execution units by a significant amount. This results in increased overhead for data buffering and communication between actors. To address this issue and adapt the model to the target execution system, we propose a technique that combines static and dynamic actors defined in the CAL actor language. This technique is based on actors’ composition within the dataflow network and creates a new composite CAL actor. When merging actors, we consider the actions of the actors, including their CAL scheduling mechanisms, finite state machines, priorities, and guards. We derive conditions under which connected actors can be merged to form a new CAL-compliant actor. Preliminary experiments show performance improvements of up to 3.6x compared to unoptimized code.</p>

<p>Green IoT (Internet of Things) refers to the integration of environmentally friendly practices and technologies in the development and implementation of IoT systems. The main goal of Green IoT is to minimize the environmental impact of IoT devices and networks, both during their production and throughout their lifecycle. This includes reducing energy consumption, minimizing electronic waste, and optimizing resource usage.</p> <p>The technical aspects of Green IoT involve the integration of&nbsp;IoT devices and sensors with renewable energy systems, energy storage systems, and energy management systems. These systems are connected to the internet, allowing for real-time monitoring, analysis, and control of energy usage.</p> <p>Green IoT also known as sustainable IoT, it is the marriage of internet of things technology and environmentally friendly practices. It aims to minimize the ecological impact of technology while enhancing resource management and efficiency.</p>
