  Evidences of non-thermal X-ray emission and TeV gamma-rays from the supernova
remnants (SNRs) has strengthened the hypothesis that primary Galactic
cosmic-ray electrons are accelerated in SNRs. High energy electrons lose energy
via synchrotron and inverse Compton processes during propagation in the Galaxy.
Due to these radiative losses, TeV electrons liberated from SNRs at distances
larger than ~1 kpc, or times older than ~10^5 yr, cannot reach the solar
system. We investigated the cosmic-ray electron spectrum observed in the solar
system using an analytical method, and considered several candidate sources
among nearby SNRs which may contribute to the high energy electron flux.
Especially, we discuss the effects for the release time from SNRs after the
explosion, as well as the deviation of a source spectrum from a simple
power-law. From this calculation, we found that some nearby sources such as the
Vela, Cygnus Loop, or Monogem could leave unique signatures in the form of
identifiable structure in the energy spectrum of TeV electrons and show
anisotropies towards the sources, depending on when the electrons are liberated
from the remnant. This suggests that, in addition to providing information on
the mechanisms of acceleration and propagation of cosmic-rays, specific
cosmic-ray sources can be identified through the precise electron observation
in the TeV region.
