Reduction of unnecessary energy consumption is becoming a major concern in wired
networking, because of the potential economical benefits and of its expected environmental …

Nowadays energy crisis and global warming problems are hanging over everyone's head,
urging much research work on energy saving. In the ICT industry, which is becoming a major …

Many computations exhibit a trade off between execution time and quality of service. A video
encoder, for example, can often encode frames more quickly if it is given the freedom to …

Approximating ideal program outputs is a common technique for solving computationally
difficult problems, for adhering to processing or timing constraints, and for performance …

Many modern computations (such as video and audio encoders, Monte Carlo simulations,
and machine learning algorithms) are designed to trade off accuracy in return for increased …

We present several general, broadly applicable mechanisms that enable computations to
execute with reduced resources, typically at the cost of some loss in the accuracy of the …

We propose a unifying method for analysis of scheduling problems in real-time systems. The
method is based on ACSR-VP, a real-time process algebra with value-passing capabilities …

Ultralow-power embedded systems have recently started the move to multicore designs.
Aggressive voltage scaling techniques have the potential to reduce the power consumption …

There is a current and growing crisis in power management for the entire range of power‐
performance computer infrastructure design points—from mobile to enterprise to cloud …

Mobile devices are left in sleep mode for long periods of time. But even while in sleep mode,
the contents of DRAM memory need to be periodically refreshed, which consumes a …
