This paper addresses the issue of battery power conservation in wireless personal area networks (WPANs). Specifically, we consider a WPAN, which contains a processor and a disk drive, and develop a collaborative power management technique, which minimizes the total WPAN power consumption. Our approach is based on the theory of rational behavior, which leads to a collaborative architecture where devices in the WPAN are equipped with cooperating rational controllers (RCs). Using, as an example, the Intel 80200 XScale processor and the Hitachi 1 GB microdrive, we show that collaborative power management using RCs offers substantial power saving compared to selfish operation, where each device attempts to minimize only its own power consumption.

The power management of server farms (Sf) is becoming a relevant problem in economical terms. Server farms totalize millions of servers all over the world that need to be electrically powered. Research is thus expected to investigate into methods to reduce Sf power consumption. However, saving power may turn into waste of performance (high response_times), in other words, into waste of Sf Quality of Service (QoS). By use of a Sfmodel, this paper investigates Sf power management strategies that look at compromises between power-saving and QoS. Various optimizing Sf power management policies are studied combined with the effects of job queueing disciplines. The (policy, discipline) pairs, or strategies, that optimize the Sf power consumption (minimum absorbed Watts), the Sf performance (minimum response_time), and the Sf performance-per-Watt (minimum response_time-per-Watt) are identified.By use of the model, the work the server-manager has to do to direct hisSf is greatly simplified, since the universe of all possible (strategies he needs to choose from is drastically reduced to a very small set of most significant strategies.

Accurate real-time traffic prediction is required in many networking applications like dynamic resource allocation and power management. This paper explores a number of predictors and searches for a predictor which has high accuracy and low computation complexity and power consumption. Many predictors from three different classes, including classic time series, artificial neural networks, and wavelet transform-based predictors, are compared. These predictors are evaluated using real network traces. Comparison of accuracy and cost, both in terms of computation complexity and power consumption, is presented. It is observed that a double exponential smoothing predictor provides a reasonable tradeoff between performance and cost overhead.
