We consider a game-theoretic power control algorithm in interference limited fading channels, where we propose a distributed (non-cooperative) algorithm to optimize the induced fading outage probability by maximizing the certainty equivalent margin (CEM). We prove that the problem of maximizing CEM is the same (up to an upper bound) as minimizing the induced outage fading probability, and provi...

This paper describes a preliminary study of characterizing performance and power consumption characterization of 3D mobile games. We choose Quake3 and XRace as the game benchmarks and study them on TI OMAP3430, Qualcomm Snapdragon S2, and NVIDIA Tegra 2 (three mainstream mobile System-on-Chip architectures) by selectively disabling different graphics pipeline stages in source code level. Our ch...

The demonstration is showing a mobile application (2-player game), utilizing context-awareness relying on agents. The agents are gathering and processing context-data retrieved from the device’s built-in sensors, which will be distributed within the system. The application (game) adapts to certain changes in the environment (in the demo: connectivity, power supply) to preserve the mobile device...

We analyze a two-stage game where capacity constrained electricity generators first choose how much capacity they make available and then compete in a uniform price auction. We study how capacity withholding can be used strategically to enforce market power and how uniform auctions in the price game change the results of capacity constrained competition models. Our main finding is that the unif...
