Abstract

Tracking Location in mobile environment has been a subject of research for quite long and significant progress has been reached. [1-16]. The next stage has been to make use of this Location-awareness to devise new functionalities and application and also to improve ways of doing existing activities like transmission change from omnidirectional, whole area coverage to directed location-aware and adapted transmission. A big area missing in MAUC is the software engineering approaches into metrics development, metrics gathering and modelling which can be used for prediction and better gearing of future investments of resources. The particular area of concern here is about energy consideration in Ubicomp. How much energy savings can be achieved? Is there any pattern that the trend of energy savings follow under different sets of conditions? Can these conditions be controlled to achieve a particular desirable energy savings trend? How to gather information on probabilities of saving less than a particular percentage of energy? The need of formulating applicable models is felt specially since these will involve lots of work. The models can be made use of by designers to formulate better architectures of ubicomp components.
