Energy-Efficient Continuous Activity Recognition on Mobile Phones: An Activity-Adaptive Approach

Karl Aberer, Zhixian Yan, Dipanjan Chakraborty

Power consumption on mobile phones is a painful obstacle towards adoption of continuous sensing driven applications, e.g., continuously inferring individual’s locomotive activities (such as ‘sit’, ‘stand’ or ‘walk’) using the embedded accelerometer sensor. ...

A Quantitative Evaluation of the Contribution of Native Code to Java Workloads

Philippe Moret

Many performance analysis tools for Java focus on tracking executed bytecodes, but provide little support in determining the specific contribution of native code libraries. This paper introduces and assesses a portable approach for characterizing the amoun ...

PiLib: A Hosted Language for Pi-Calculus Style Concurrency

Martin Odersky, Vincent Cremet

PiLib is a library written in Scala that implements the concurrency constructs of the Pi-calculus. Some features of the programming language Scala, examined in the paper, make it possible to use almost the same syntax as in the Pi-calculus. The advantages ...
