Mobile App Energy Consumption: A Study of Known Energy Issues in Mobile Applications and their Classification Schemes – Summary Plan

Work in Mobile App Energy Consumption (MAEC) has drawn participants from a broad range of communities such as systems, networking, hardware, testing, analysis and design. This diversity has enriched and informed the research from many different angles. For example, knowledge about the physical properties of batteries (e.g., that their performance is temperature dependent) is necessary to control for con-founding variables during experiments. However, it has also led to a confusing and conflicting mix of terms, names, and expressions as researchers from different domains each attempt to apply their existing terminology or invent new terms to describe various kinds of energy related issues.
