Abstract

Mobile devices such as cell phones and notebooks rely on battery power supply. For these systems, optimizing the power consumption is important to increase the system's lifetime. However, this is hard to achieve because energy-saving functions often depend on the hardware, and operating systems. The diversity of hardware components and operating systems makes the implementation time consuming and difficult. We propose an approach to automate energy optimization of programs by implementing energy-saving functionality as modular, separate implementation units (e.g., feature modules or aspects). These units are bundled as energy features into an energy-optimization feature library. Based on aspect-oriented and feature-oriented programming, we discuss different techniques to compose the source code of a client program and the implementation units of the energy features.
