Looking for optimizing the battery consumption is
an open issue, and we think it is feasible if we analyze the
battery consumption behavior of a typical context-aware
application to reduce context-aware operations at runtime.
This analysis is based on different context sensors
configurations. Actually existing context-aware approaches are
mainly based on collecting and sending context data to external
components, without taking into account how expensive are
these operations in terms of energy consumption. As a first
result of our work in progress, we are proposing a way for
reducing the context data publishing. We have designed a
testing battery consumption architecture supported by Nokia
Energy Profiler tool to verify consumption in different scenarios
