Applicability of earned value management for deadline energy constrained applications

Earned Value Management (EVM) is a progress management method in project management. EVM is used as metrics to analyze execution statuses of projects that need to be accomplished within deadlines and limited budgets. By replacing budgets used in project management with energy used in applications, we can apply EVM as metrics to analyze execution statuses of Deadline Energy Constrained (DEC) applications that execute tasks within deadlines and limited energy. DEC applications are often seen in applications that need to consume energy within limits, for example, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Electric Cars (ECs), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). In this paper, we introduce new possibilities of applying EVM by showing that EVM can be used to analyze execution statuses of and make changes to DEC applications.
