Abstract

Many factors have contributed to the birth and continued growth of mobile computing, including recent advances in hardware and communications technology. With this new paradigm however come new challenges in computer operating systems development. These challenges include heretofore relatively unusual items such as frequent network disconnections, communications bandwidth limitations, resource restrictions, and power limitations. It is the last of these challenges that we shall explore in this paper---that is the question of what techniques can be employed in mobile computer operating systems that can reduce the power consumption of today's mobile computing devices.
