Design of energy conservation in pervasive environment

Abstract

Extending battery lifetime is one of the most critical and challenging problems in a pervasive system. The greatest utility of pervasive system is their ability to be used anywhere, and at anytime. But power limitations of the mobile devices seem to hinder this goal. A middleware service framework has been developed and deployed over a network of machines that exploit remote resources. The framework adopts a context-aware approach to make intelligent decisions on task migration and uses the achievable throughput in an end-to-end path as the context. It proved that the developed framework is novel and efficiency in a set of tasks. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.
