A Review on mobile application energy profiling: Taxonomy, state-of-the-art, and open research issues

The shift of the information access paradigm to a mobile platform motivates research in mobile application energy profiling to augment device battery lifetime. Energy profiling schemes estimate mobile application power consumption when it is executed on resource-constrained mobile devices. Accurate...
