Addresses issues in integrated energy management for portable multimedia communication devices beyond low power electronic design by identifying some hooks and controls that are required at various levels. The 11 contributions present different approaches to system level power management, including theoretical and simulation studies, field measurements, algorithm development, and experimental test beds related to low power computing, mobile communication, and networking. Topics include optimal node scheduling for effective energy usage in sensor networks, low energy software optimization for the ARM7 processor, embedded system design using the MILAN framework, and content shaping for energy efficient wireless web access.
