Design and Evaluation of Energy-consumption-aware Evolutional Agent System for Portable Devices

Abstract

Towards the improvement for service provision through portable devices which have limited resources, we propose a new design of energy-consumption-aware evolutional agent system. In the proposed design, platform specific parameters of local resources are taken into account to calculate the energy continuance index (ECI) of portable devices for controlling service provision in order to reduce power consumption of the portable platforms. Furthermore, we implement a multimedia communication system based on the proposal in order to evaluate its effectiveness. Results from the comparison with a conventional design show that the proposal is able to provide adequate services without affecting user experiences.
