A proposal on an energy-saving policy on context based system

Description

During the last decade, technology has created a new field in software development, known as pervasive computing, thank lo the improvement and extension of integrated sensors. These sensors have been successfully integrated in the daily-life of the common user, using devices like mobile phones. Those new hardware improvements gave the common developer the chance to generate new and more complete applications, which interact with the user's life with a minimum effort. However, it also meant an extra consumption of device's resources, which is translated into a extra energy consumption. The contribution of this work is to propose a new policy for energy saving applications in the framework of context­aware systems. The expected energy saving achieved through this police means to be significant both in the perception of the duration of the battery by the user and reducing the impact of these devices in the environment.
