In this paper we show that application-aware adaptation, a collaborative partnership between
the operating system and applications, offers the most general and effective approach to …

In this paper, we demonstrate that a collaborative relationship between the operating system
and applications can be used to meet user-specified goals for battery duration. We first …

Farm‐specific profit inefficiency among Basmati rice producers was estimated from a
variable‐coefficient profit frontier. The mean level of inefficiency at farm resources and price levels …

We describe the design and implementation of PowerScope, a tool for profiling energy usage
by applications. PowerScope maps energy consumption to program structure, in much the …

In this paper, we propose cyber foraging: a mechanism to augment the computational and
storage capabilities of mobile devices. Cyber foraging uses opportunistically discovered …

We describe Spectra, a remote execution system for battery-powered clients used in pervasive
computing. Spectra enables applications to combine the mobility of small devices with the …

Troubleshooting the performance of production software is challenging. Most existing tools,
such as profiling, tracing, and logging systems, reveal what events occurred during …

Measures of technical efficiency were estimated using a stochastic translog production
frontier for a sample of rainfed rice farmers in Bicol, Philippines. These estimates were farm …

Current debugging and optimization methods scale poorly to deal with the complexity of
modern Internet services, in which a single request triggers parallel execution of numerous …
