Experiences in Designing an Energy-Aware Middleware for Pervasive Computing
Gregor Schiele, Marcus Handte, Christian Becker · 2008
Energy efficiency in pervasive computing is crucial for devices operated by battery. To provide energy efficiency we created an energy efficient middleware, called SANDMAN. It selects energy-efficient protocol stacks dynamically and switches idle devices in an energy-efficient sleep mode. In this paper we present an overview of the challenges we met when realizing this approach, possible solutions and lessons learned.
