Buildings are known to be the largest consumers of electricity in the United States, and often times the dominant energy consumer is the HVAC system. Despite this fact, in most bu...
In mobile computing environments, as a result of the reduced capacity of local storage, it is commonly not feasible to replicate entire datasets on each mobile unit. In addition, ...
Wireless interfaces are major power consumers on mobile systems. Considerable research has improved the energy efficiency of elongated idle periods or created more elongated idle ...
