Course Description:

 

By year 2020, the number of smartphone users globally will reach 3 Billion and the mobile data traffic (cellular + WiFi) will exceed PC internet traffic the first time. As the number of smartphone users and the amount of data transferred per smartphone grow exponentially, limited battery power is becoming an increasingly critical problem for mobile devices which increasingly depend on network I/O.

 

This seminar will be discussing state-of-the-art research, development, and deployment efforts in making the mobile computing systems more power-aware and energy efficient. We will be reading and discussing two papers every week from the reading list below, especially focusing on energy efficiency of network I/O for mobile systems:

 

The reading list for this seminar is available here.

 

Course Location and Time:

 

The seminars will be held Wednesdays 10:00am-12:00pm @ 113A Davis Hall. First day of classes will be on Wednesday, February 1st, 2017.

 

Grading:

 

This is a research course. There will be no exams and no projects (unless there is a request from individual students for a term project). Each student will present 1 paper and will act as discussant, advocate, and critic for 3 other papers. Each student is expected to read all papers, attend classes, and join the discussion of the papers. Grading will be P/F.
