Execution framework model for power-aware applications

This paper tries to gather together all the aspects that are important to implement or evaluate energy efficiency techniques in mobile computing devices. The main goal of our work presented in this paper is to propose, implement and validate a set of high-level metrics for energy efficiency evaluation of computing systems or Dynamic Power Management (DPM) software frameworks. Using these efficiency metrics we intend to evaluate and identify the hardware system and DPM software which are the most efficient in terms of energy to run certain application. Based on these metrics we propose a model in terms of a software framework, for power-aware applications support.
