The introduction of energy harvesting functionalities into an embedded system such as wireless sensor network raises many design questions. The central one is how to smartly use harvesting abilities so as to optimize performance and lifetime of the system? How to dynamically adapt the processing activity and schedule the real-time jobs with deadline constraints so as to subsist perpetually on a given energy source? Researchers are currently striving to design scheduling techniques which adapt to requirements of real-time energy harvesting computing systems. This paper reports very recent results that prove that the well-known Earliest Deadline First scheduler still remains an efficient option for online scheduling in these new generation computing systems.
