Abordagem orientada a serviços para o gerenciamento de energia em redes pervasivas.

Abstract

The growth in the use of mobile devices in people's daily lives, combined with the diffusion of wireless communication technologies, gives support to affirm that scenarios in a world where computing is embedded "invisibly" in everyday life are perfectly possible. Knowledge and services are provided in the right place and time, transparently. This autonomy of applications has become one of the pillars of Pervasive Computing, where this type of "consciousness" can be introduced from the moment it became possible to capture and treat information related to the environment and the devices themselves. In this context, an aspect of significant importance is the energy consumption of these devices. Most pervasive networks are composed mainly of mobile devices that have a battery as their primary source of energy, which can compromise the availability of the services offered. In this work, the objective is to develop a new method of energy management in pervasive environments. It is proposed to optimize the consumption of devices considering the entire set of network peers, through a transversal and service-oriented approach. The method makes use of distributed management policies, seeking a global improvement in consumption.
