A Promise Theory Approach to Collaborative Power Reduction in a Pervasive Computing Environment

چکیده
A grid-like environment may be constructed from ad hoc processing devices, including portable battery-powered devices. Battery lifetime is a current limitation here. In this paper we propose policies for minimizing power consumption using voluntary collaboration between the autonomously controlled nodes. We exploit the quadratic relationship between processor clock-speed and power consumption to identify processing devices which can be slowed down to save energy while maintaining an overall computational performance across a collaboration of nodes.

A semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
متن کاملDisTriB: Distributed Trust Management Model Based on Gossip Learning and Bayesian Networks in Collaborative Computing Systems
The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...

متن کاملAutonomic Pervasive Computing: A Smart Mall Scenario Using Promise Theory
We present a simplified example of a pervasive computing scenario using promises to model the interaction policies between the agents. We examine how the autonomic nodes stabilize into a robust functional system in spite of their autonomous decision making. We use promises both as a means of modelling a potential specification and as a complementary eye glass for interpreting and understanding ...
